Why Charly Cares Business?
Employer of the future
With a business babysitter, you will support your employees when it is most necessary. When things are well-organized at home, everyone profits. The children, the working parents, and therefore the whole company.
Productivity, happiness at work & stress relief
Research shows that a business babysitter results in increased productivity and happiness at work, and a reduction in stress. While an experienced babysitter takes over the care of the children, the employee can focus on work-related matters without being disturbed.
Maximum flexibility and quality via an innovative platform
A last minute babysitter or a fixed after-school babysitter: Charly Cares offers personally checked Babysitting Angels for any time. Thanks to a transparent rating system, Angel insurance, and 24/7 Customer Care, the parent is completely unburdened.

This creates the following challenges for the employee:
"I cannot find childcare for all days, shall I (temporarily) go back in hours to take care of the children?"
"I came back from maternity leave, but can't go back to my original contract hours."
"I work two days at home with the children to fill in the gaps left by childcare"
"I necessarily call in sick or take time off during study days."

My employees already have a membership with Charly Cares, can they continue using their current account?

Step 2: Register the business email address. Enter your business email address (e.g., @charlycares.com), agree to the terms, and click on 'Activate business account.'
Step 3: Email verification with activation code. You will receive a 4-digit code on your business email. Enter the code to confirm on your business account. From now on, you can book and pay for both private and business babysitting services. You can choose whether you or your employer pays for each babysitting service.
Is the babysitting credit for my employees considered as salary?
If there is space available under the WKR (Work-Related Expense Scheme) and the conditions for using the WKR can be met, you can designate this as final tax wage. As a result, you can reimburse this untaxed for your employees and the babysitting credit may not be considered as wages. If there is no space available under the WKR, it may be that the babysitting credit is considered as (additional) wages and the usual wage costs will need to be paid on this. We recommend checking this with your financial department or externally involved accountant and tax advisor.
