“We were very comfortable leaving our 2 year 6 month old with her. She was warm, friendly and very neat. Thank you! See you again”

Personally checked babysitters
Regular, after-school, flexible & last-minute babysitters
Ratings & reviews after each babysitting service
Babysitter Angels - they are not called that for nothing! All trustworthy and experienced babysitters with a passion for children. They love playing outside with your kids, doing crafts with them, or playing games. Reliability is our top priority, and we'd love to tell you more about it.
Babysitting experience
When a new Angel signs up, she must provide references from families she has babysat for before. This way, we check the experience and like to hear how the babysitting families describe her!
Personal check
In addition to the mandatory IDIN check on their personal data, a Charly Cares recruiter always performs a personal check to learn more about the experience and motivation of the Babysitting Angel.
Rating & review
After each babysitting service, the parent must fill in a rating & review to evaluate the Babysitter Angel. We monitor these daily and intervene when a rating is lower than 4 stars.
"Hi parents in Laren! I'm Charly, founder of Charly Cares. As a mother of 2 girls, Olivia and Valentina, I know very well how important it is to have a nice and reliable babysitter in your home. That's why I value the personal check. I am proud of the fact that we have so many Angels with years of experience, who are following or have followed studies like PABO, Pedagogy or other care-oriented studies. Real Angels, if you ask me!"

Sign up nowFor what moment are you looking for support in taking care of the kids? Whether it's for an occasional night out, after-school moments to pick up the kids from school, or if you need a last-minute babysitter: our Angels are ready for you! From high school students to college students, to Angels who have children of their own that have already moved out: there is an Angel for every moment of the day that suits you.
Download the app, create a profile, and provide information about your family (a description, a clear photo, etc.). You can immediately search for an Angel!
Enter the date and time when you need a babysitter, and you'll see the Angels in your area. Select your favorite Angels, but also put your request on the Jobboard: this is a kind of bulletin board where Angels can offer themselves for your booking.
Handle everything through the app: from making the booking, chatting with your Angel, to payment. Ideal!
At Charly Cares, you can not only find a babysitter for your children, but you can also get help for an elderly person or arrange a babysitter for your pet. Discover the possibilities of Senior Care and Pet Care at Charly Cares.
If you are looking for a babysitter for multiple days a week, we advise that you book multiple Angels. Create multiple bookings, select your favourite Angels, and post the bookings to Jobboard to increase the chances of your booking succeeding!
For bookings starting in September in specific for a longer period, we advise to create a booking request as short as possible before the actual booking takes place, select only 1 to max 4 times the same Angel and discuss then whether they can stay longer. The reason is that we have a lot of students in our database and they don't know yet what their school schedule will be. Next to that and in general, booking requests that are created a few weeks before the actual booking takes place are also less successful than bookings that start sooner.
The payment through the app works as follows: when the Angel is at your home, a timer will automatically start, and upon their departure, you stop the timer. Then, you check the times for accuracy and choose whether to pay the Angel privately or through your business (if your employer reimburses for babysitting expenses). If you are paying personally, you can, after consulting with the visiting Angel, choose a payment method:
Note! For a Pet Care booking, a fixed rate applies to that booking. The timer will automatically stop, and you don't need to take any further action. The same applies to a Senior Care booking; the timer will be automatically stopped. Both Pet and Senior Care payments are processed through direct debit.
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.
You can think of Jobboard as the old-fashioned bulletin board in the supermarket, where you put up a note if you're looking for a babysitter. Jobboard works the same way and is a kind of bulletin board for our Babysitter Angels, where they can see job posts from parents.
There are 2 ways to make a booking request, either way, you can use Jobboard.
Option 1
Option 2 (In areas surrounding cities)
You can also reject the proposal. Your booking request does not disappear from Jobboard. You have 6 hours to respond to proposals from Angels.
Good to know
- Angels who do not fully meet your requirements can also respond to your request on Jobboard.
- When you invite an Angel and they subsequently accept the offer, they become the Angel on the booking. When an Angel makes an offer on your booking, you still have to accept it.
Reliability is number one priority at Charly Cares. Before our Babysitting Angels start working with us, they are personally checked for experience, motivation and personality. We also ask for 2 references from families where they have babysat before. When filling out their profile in the app, they can do a personal iDIN check, which we use to verify their personal data. In addition, our Angels and families are both rated after each babysitting service, supplemented with a review if necessary. We constantly monitor this to ensure quality. These ratings & reviews are also visible to you when you book an Angel.
