Frequently asked questions about the subscription

On this page, you can find everything about the rates at Charly Cares. First, take a look at the frequently asked questions to quickly find answers to the most common queries.

What are the costs of a babysitting service?

A babysitter at Charly Cares is free to set their own hourly rate, so this may vary per babysitter. Rates typically range between €8 and €15 per hour, regardless of the number of children. The hourly rate remains the same whether you have 1 or 3 children. However, some babysitters do distinguish between daytime and evening rates. Evening rates are usually lower, as children are often (partly) asleep by then.

In addition, you pay a subscription fee and booking costs. The subscription is €13.99 per month, and the booking fee is €1.99 per booking plus €0.12 per hour in insurance costs.

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.

Are there any booking costs?

Yes, we charge €1.99 in booking costs per booking. More information about the subscription can be found on this page.

When does my free trial membership start?

Your free trial membership automatically starts after you have linked your bank account. You need to link your bank account in order to be able to pay the babysitter. After the trial, it will be automatically converted to the paid membership. You will also receive this information via email.
