Charly's StoriesThe most fun behind the scene stories of Charly Cares

We've been busy! We've made a lot of developments in the app recently. You may have seen some of them, but we've listed all the changes for you. That way you (and we ourselves) will have a clear view of things!

Dr. Femke is a child nutrition coach and health scientist. She knows everything about healthy nutrition for your little ones. For example, she knows why your child's first 1000 days are super important and how you can easily pick a healthy snack. Read along!

Over 80 companies make use of a Charly Cares Business Babysitter. So they support their working parents with a babysitter at home for those moments it really matters. And that is invaluable for the lives of many families. We talked to a number of parents who book a Business Babysitter. Meet: Sybe, Zara and Femke.

What do you do when you urgently need a recurring babysitter? Maericke lives with her partner Pim and 3 kids in De Bilt. Olivia (6 years old) goes to school and afterwards to BSO, but for her twins Emma & Valentijn (3,5 years old) she urgently needed a babysitter for 2 days a week. How did Maericke manage this?

During the daily ins and outs of family life, a babysitter is a must have. This offers you some time and space for (work-related) activities such as sports, a hairdresser's appointment, lunch or a date night with your partner. We totally understand booking a babysitter can be quite a big step. The care of your most precious possession is being put in the hands of someone else. We are happy to take you through the process of selecting new Babysitting Angels, where reliability and transparency are number one.

It's time to fill out your tax return for 2022! The tax return involves all sources of income for 2022, so your earnings from babysitting through Charly Cares should also be included. We will answer your most frequently asked questions regarding the tax return. Keep reading and get your tax return filed in no time.

Good news for our Babysitting Angels: Jobboard is renewed! You can now search for babysitting jobs more easily. You're able to filter on day, time, distance and postal code. Ready to give it a try?

How do you determine your hourly rate? At Charly Cares you determine your own hourly rate. But keep looking critically at this, keep day and evening rates apart and base your rate on age and experience. In the app you can also see the average hourly rate for your age in your area. That does not mean that your hourly rate should be the same as that of a peer if you have different experience.

Fall season (and the holiday) has started! That means: enjoying the beautiful colors of fall and getting cozy. It's a good season for spending some time inside, but there's a lot to do outside as well. We have some tips for a cozy & creative fall!

At Charly Cares, you work when you want to. Our new update contributes to that promise: there is a new way to indicate your availability. You can now do so based on preferred days, so that parents will have an even clearer view of when you are available and we will be able to provide a better match.

“Hello! My name is Romee, I am 17 years old and I am currently enrolled in the Specialized Pedagogical Employee training program in Hilversum. I previously did Nursing, but I found myself leaning more towards working with children. I am very happy with this switch and my babysitting job fits well with it!”

The summer vacation is here! Unfortunately, this great period of having fun together with the family will be over before you know it. The kids will go back to school, and you will go back to work. This means that the family calendar needs to be sorted out again. Who will pick the kids up when, what days will you be at work, and do you need outside help to make it all possible?

Where companies used to position themselves as good employers by offering extras such as a gym subscription and a thirteenth month, some of the largest employers in our country are now forced to take a different approach: a business babysitter as fringe benefit.
