Babysitting Angels with baby experience
Every parent will surely agree: a good babysitter is indispensable to every family. But how do you go about finding the babysitter who suits you the best? We would love to help you get started. With our matchingsystem, you will only be matched with Angels with demonstrable baby experience. After all, leaving your little one in the care of a babysitter is already nerve-wracking enough, so we make sure that you can leave the house without having to worry.
The reliability of our Babysitting Angels
Reliability is paramount at Charly Cares. Before Angels are admitted to our platform, they are screened and we run a reference check. During the screening, we discuss motivation, background, and experience (at least 2 years). In addition, each parent leaves an obligatory rating & review after each babysitting service. These are also visible to other parents.
What does a babysitter cost?
When looking into different types of childcare, you are of course curious about the associated costs! A Charly Cares Babysitting Angel costs between €5,- and €12,- per hour, depending on age and experience. In addition, you pay for the Charly Cares membership, so that you can enjoy all the benefits of our platform.

Frequently asked questions:
Does each babysitter visit your office?
Absolutely. We personally screen each Babysitting Angel at one of our screening locations before the babysitter gains access to the Babysitting App. During the screening the (educational) background and the babysitting experience of the Angel will be discussed. Babysitting experience is mandatory and the references that the Angel presents are carefully checked.
What happens to my given rating & review?
All incoming ratings and reviews are monitored daily. When a rating or written review is insufficient, our Support Team will contact the parent and the Angel within 24 hours. After our Support Team has spoken to the Babysitting Angel, the parent will be provided with feedback.
How does the matching system work?
Charly Cares has an advanced online system that matches parents with Babysitting Angels. This is based on the following criteria: zip code, availability, languages and specific babysitting experience. In addition, Charly Cares has added a number of innovative features to this matching system, so that a parent can book a babysitter with confidence.
Additional features:
Rating: The average rating after each babysitting service as given by the parent.
Review: A written review after each babysitting service as given by the parent.
Response rating: The average time it takes the Babysitting Angel to respond to a booking request.
Social linking: The babysitter is connected on Facebook or LinkedIn with one of the parent's social friends.
