Charly's StoriesThe most fun behind the scene stories of Charly Cares

Hi! I’m Marjan, 26 years old, and I live with my boyfriend in Someren. I started my education in Recreation and Tourism, where I especially loved the entertainment side of things—particularly when it involved working with children. After that, I went on to study Pedagogy in Nijmegen because I was interested in learning more about child development and how the brain works. For me, those studies really complemented each other. Babysitting through Charly Cares fits perfectly within that same picture.

Angel story time! Let’s get to know Anne, a 19-year-old Pabo student from Sterksel (Brabant). She started babysitting at a young age and still enjoys it every time. Not only is it a fun side job, but it also gives her valuable experience for her studies.

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?
