Charly Cares Business: The convenience of a babysitter for you as a self-employed person
For you, as a parent, it is a challenge to juggle many things at once: work, taking care of the kids, household. With Charly Cares Business we are happy to support you as a self-employed person or freelancer with a business babysitter. This way you will find the peace and time for your work, while an experienced babysitter takes over the ins and outs of home when necessary.
The Babysitter Angel-network
Charly Cares (Business) gives you access to our exclusive network of babysitting Angels. Do you already have a Charly Cares account? Great! It is easy to expand your membership to a business account. Don’t have a Charly Cares account yet but you do have a great babysitter in private? Then simply add your own babysitter to our platform. You pay your babysitter via your business account. This way you have the convenience and not the full costs, because these are simply deductible.

These can then be divided as desire. If you work 10 hours one week and 20 the next week, you use the hours as needed.

Via your account you have a clear overview of how many hours you still have available for the relevant month. You will also find an overview of your invoices here.
3. Receive a clear invoice every month
At the end of the month you will receive your invoice. You can use this for the business-deductible expenses.
Frequently asked questions about Charly Cares Business
How do I book a Babysitting Angel?
Easy peasy! In our app, go to 'Discover' > 'Book an Angel'. Enter the dates and times for which you need a babysitter. You will then be able to either select 10 Angels yourself, or post your request on Jobboard.
Selecting 10 Angels yourself? Write a personal message and send the request, then wait for the Angels to respond. If one of them accepts, your request is successful.
If you choose Jobboard, write a personal message and post your request to Jobboard. All Angels near you will be able to see your request and respond. In the end, you decide who ends up babysitting.
How do I pay the Angel?
The payment is completely automatic via the app: the moment the Angel is at your home, a timer starts running automatically, when you get home you turn it off. Then you check whether the times are correct and choose whether you pay the babysitter privately or business (if you get a company babysitter reimbursed by your employer). Then the payment is initiated. Are you paying privately? Then the amount will be debited from your account within a few days. No hassle with contact money. If it was a babysitting service for business use, we will arrange payment through your employer.
Please note! For a Pet Care booking, a fixed rate applies to that specific booking. The timer for this booking will automatically stop. You don't need to take any further action in this regard. Similarly, for a Senior Care booking, the timer will automatically be stopped. However, the Angel will be paid on an hourly basis for Senior Care bookings. Apart from these differences, the payment process operates in the same way as it does for any other booking.
