“Thank you, Tanvi!”
Parents in The Hague! Are you looking for a nice and reliable babysitter for your kids and you don't always want to ask your family members. Angels to the rescue! The Nanny Angels at Charly Cares are ready for you and your family. They see 'caring' as their great passion and let you go out the door feeling confident. We'd love to tell you more...
You may be wondering, 'So how do you check Angels?' Good question, and quite rightly so! Booking a babysitter for the first time is quite something. But rest assured, we do a lot to ensure reliability.
Before Angels apply, they provide references from previous nanny families and do the iDIN check for personal data.
They also tell a little more about their personality and motivation, after which they are personally checked by a Charly Cares recruiter.
Only then are they given access to our platform. But even then we keep an eye on quality by asking the parent for a rating & review after each babysitting service.
"Hi parents in The Hague! 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!"

I want a babysitterAt 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.
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.
If you're looking for a babysitter for multiple days per week, we recommend inviting as many Angels as possible for the booking. Create the fixed babysitting reservation yourself, select as many Angels as you can, and post the booking on the Jobboard. This increases the chance lof a successful booking!
For bookings starting from September and lasting a longer period, we advise selecting multiple Angels for 1 to a maximum of 4 times and then discussing whether they can stay for an extended period. We have many students in our database, and they don't yet know their schedules for September in August. Additionally, our experience shows that bookings further in the future are less likely to succeed compared to those happening sooner.
Jobboard is Charly Cares' digital noticeboard, where parents can post their babysitting requests, and where our Babysitting Angels can respond. It works just like the old noticeboard in the supermarket, but online!
As a parent, you can easily request a babysitter via Jobboard:
Good to know: Angels who don't fully meet your preferences can also respond to your request via Jobboard. You have 6 hours to respond to proposals from Angels.
If you reject a proposal, don't worry! Your request will remain visible on Jobboard, and Angels can continue to respond.
