Hi everyone! My name is Rosalie, I am 24 years old, and I moved to Amsterdam 5 years ago. I am currently working on my thesis for my Master International Relations at Leiden University. In my spare time, I like to salsa dance, read, go out with friends, and I like to travel.

At Charly Cares, each Angel gets to decide how much they earn. We want to make babysitting as fun and easy as possible, and are therefore no longer placing the restrictions on the hourly rate that used to be in place. We are also letting go of the 3% Angel fee, meaning that 100% of the babysitting earnings will end up in the Angel's bank account. We asked Angels Sabine (21), Isabelle (24), and Adina (40) about their hourly rate, their income, and what they spend their money on.
If you're considering babysitting via Charly Cares, you of course want to know what you'll earn. Well, we have some great news for you... It’s all up to you! As a Charly Cares Babysitting Angel, you are in charge, even when it comes to choosing your own hourly rate. How great is that?!
