Recently, Charly sat down with Babysitting Angels Narjiss and Kim. Two wonderful Angels who together have babysat more than 300 times. True All Star Angels, if you ask us! And the best part? We captured the highlights of this conversation for you in a short video.

Hi! I’m Charly (35), (attempting to be) a successful entrepreneur, and mother of two daughters, Olivia (3.5 years old) and Valentina (5 months). I live in Brabant, work in Amsterdam, and ever since I started my company, I’ve asked myself almost daily: how do people manage to combine kids and a career? How on earth do working moms do this? And I can’t be the only one wondering about this, right?

What do you do when you urgently need a recurring babysitter? Maericke lives with her partner Pim and 3 kids in De Bilt. Olivia (6 years old) goes to school and afterwards to BSO, but for her twins Emma & Valentijn (3,5 years old) she urgently needed a babysitter for 2 days a week. How did Maericke manage this?

In a world increasingly dominated by screens, audio (audiobooks, podcasts, lullabies) offers an enchanting escape for children. Whether you’re a parent looking for new ways to put your child to bed, entertain them, or teach them something about the world, or a caregiver wanting to surprise the children with a new activity, audiobooks are the perfect choice.

Sinds begin dit jaar biedt Van Lanschot Kempen een oppas van de zaak aan voor haar werknemers. Hiermee ondersteunen zij hun jonge, werkende ouders op momenten dat het ertoe doet. En dat is, voor deze doelgroep die het jonge ouderschap combineert met een carrière, van onmisbare waarde.
