Choose how much you earn!
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.
