Personal check

Charly Cares' babysitters are screened personally

Good to know: we personally check each Babysitting Angel. The Angel fills out information about herself, does the iDIN check and provides references. We check all this and ask for more information if necessary. That way we know exactly who we're dealing with.

All types

Meet the different types of babysitters of Charly Cares

Our extensive network of Angels is full of different types of Angels: Some have enough time to work as regular babysitters, others prefer flexible or after-school babysitters. You can also get a last minute babysitter. The best if you want a night out!

Frequently asked questions about a babysitter in Utrecht

How exactly does Jobboard work?

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:

  1. Choose the date and time when you need a babysitter.
  2. Select the Angels you'd like to book. Use the filters to make it easier.
  3. The ‘Post to Jobboard’ checkbox is automatically selected, we recommend leaving it on for a higher chance of getting responses from Angels.
  4. Angels can respond to your request, both the ones you selected and others who see your request via Jobboard. Note: If you invite an Angel and they accept, the booking is confirmed. If an Angel responds via Jobboard, you still need to accept their proposal.
  5. You'll receive all proposals from Angels and can accept the proposal from your favorite Angel.

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.

How do I pay the Angel?

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:

  1. iDeal: Arrange the payment through your bank app. The Angel will be paid within a day.
  2. Cash or via Tikkie: Arrange the payment directly with the Angel.
  3. Via direct debit: You don't need to do anything else; Charly Cares will debit the amount from your account within 2 working days and pay the Angel after 4 working days.

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.

What are the costs of a babysitting service?

Angels are able to choose their own hourly rate, so it can be different per Angel. The hourly rate varies between approximately €8 and €15 per hour, it does not matter how many kids you have. The hourly rate stays the same, whether you have 1 or 3 kids.

You also pay the subscription costs and booking costs. The subscription is €13.99 per month and the booking fee is €1.99 per booking + €0,12 per hour insurance costs.

How do I find a fixed babysitter?

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.
