Parents in Haarlem, we're here for you! Do you ever find yourself in a bind because you can't find a babysitter for your kids, and you don't want to ask your family members again? Finding a reliable babysitter at home can be challenging but is so important. And we're here to help. At Charly Cares, you can arrange everything through the app: scroll through the Babysitter Angels in your area and learn more about their experience and motivation. Match with the loveliest Babysitter Angels in your neighborhood and leave the house worry-free. Learn more!
Alright, now you know you can find a babysitter in Haarlem and surrounding areas, but: how does it work exactly? Let us explain. You download the Charly Cares app, complete your profile, and search for a Babysitter Angel by entering the date and time when you need a babysitter. Then scroll through the Angels in your area, view their profiles, read the reviews, and select your favorite Babysitter Angels. In no time, you'll find a regular, after-school, flexible & last-minute babysitter in Haarlem and its surroundings!
You want to leave your children with a safe feeling with the babysitter. But how do you know if the babysitter is reliable? Don't worry: at Charly Cares, we consider reliability very important. That's why we personally check every new Angel, and they must provide references from previous babysitting families. They also undergo the iDIN check. All so you know who you're dealing with!
Need a regular babysitter? Or would you prefer a flexible Babysitter Angel? At Charly Cares, you'll find all types of Babysitter Angels. Also for moments when you need an after-school babysitter or want a last-minute babysitter up to 3 hours in advance. Very handy if you still want a night out with your partner or friends!
At Charly Cares, you fill out a rating after each babysitting service about the Babysitter Angel. Additionally, you can write a review. Not only pleasant for you but also for us, the babysitter, and other future families! These reviews are visible to you in the app, so you can also read reviews from other parents. Nice to read and good to know something about the Angel already.
"Hi parents in Haarlem! I'm Charly, founder of Charly Cares. As a mother of 2 girls, Olivia and Valentina, I know very well how important it is to have a nice and reliable babysitter in your home. That's why I value the personal check. I am proud of the fact that we have so many Angels with years of experience, who are following or have followed studies like PABO, Pedagogy or other care-oriented studies. Real Angels, if you ask me!"

The payment through the app works as follows: when the Angel is at your home, a timer will automatically start, and upon their departure, you stop the timer. Then, you check the times for accuracy and choose whether to pay the Angel privately or through your business (if your employer reimburses for babysitting expenses). If you are paying personally, you can, after consulting with the visiting Angel, choose a payment method:
Note! For a Pet Care booking, a fixed rate applies to that booking. The timer will automatically stop, and you don't need to take any further action. The same applies to a Senior Care booking; the timer will be automatically stopped. Both Pet and Senior Care payments are processed through direct debit.
If you're looking for a babysitter for multiple days per week, we recommend inviting as many Angels as possible for the booking. Create the fixed babysitting reservation yourself, select as many Angels as you can, and post the booking on the Jobboard. This increases the chance lof a successful booking!
For bookings starting from September and lasting a longer period, we advise selecting multiple Angels for 1 to a maximum of 4 times and then discussing whether they can stay for an extended period. We have many students in our database, and they don't yet know their schedules for September in August. Additionally, our experience shows that bookings further in the future are less likely to succeed compared to those happening sooner.
You can think of Jobboard as the old-fashioned bulletin board in the supermarket, where you put up a note if you're looking for a babysitter. Jobboard works the same way and is a kind of bulletin board for our Babysitter Angels, where they can see job posts from parents.
There are 2 ways to make a booking request, either way, you can use Jobboard.
Option 1
Option 2 (In areas surrounding cities)
You can also reject the proposal. Your booking request does not disappear from Jobboard. You have 6 hours to respond to proposals from Angels.
Good to know
- Angels who do not fully meet your requirements can also respond to your request on Jobboard.
- When you invite an Angel and they subsequently accept the offer, they become the Angel on the booking. When an Angel makes an offer on your booking, you still have to accept it.
