The reliability doesn't stop there. After every babysat shift, the parent rates and reviews the Angel. We read along with these. If an Angel drops below 4 stars, we take action. This is how quality is guaranteed, shift after shift.

Founder Charly about babysitters in Rotterdam

"Hi Rotterdam parents! I'm Charly, founder of Charly Cares. Rotterdam has a character of its own; it's a city that never stands still. I see that reflected in the families and the Angels who are active here. As a mother to Olivia and Valentina, I know how wonderful it is when your babysitter isn't just anyone, but is truly involved with your children. Our Rotterdam Angels often have a background in teacher training, Pedagogy, or childcare, and it shows. That gives me confidence, and hopefully you too!"

Polina was very kind and reliable. My daughter felt comfortable with her straight away and everything went smoothly. She arrived on time, kept me updated, and took good care of my daughter. I would happily recommend her to other families.

We couldn't have asked for a better babysitter. Polina was fantastic with the kids, handled our (excitedly barking) dog like a pro and went absolutely above and beyond when faced with an unexpected appliance issue. Super professional!

Polina was wonderful with our son (16 mos). She was warm, attentive, and instantly put him at ease. He had such a great time with her that he didn't want her to leave when it was time to go! We'd be very happy to have her babysit again.
