The company babysitting service is currently a great success of Charly Cares Business. More and more companies are including this option as an employee benefit. A big win for parents, especially in these times of great uncertainty.

Since the press conference in which the school lockdown was announced, the number of daytime babysitting requests has risen sharply. Parents are expected to work from home and children are more often at home because of quarantine or the teacher's absence. A work situation that is often impossible for parents, in which they are less productive and experience a lot of stress related to childcare.

Fortunately, employers are increasingly seeing the importance of a good work-life balance and are therefore happy to offer employees the option of company babysitting. By now, 65 companies are already using Charly Cares Business. Deloitte is one of them: ''For us, employee wellbeing is a top priority. A babysitting arrangement for parents with children up to primary school age contributes to that'' says HR director Marjolein Heijstraten.
