Ratings & reviews after every babysitting service
Finding a babysitter in Utrecht, that should be fine. How does it work? Download the Charly Cares app, enter the date(s) you need a babysitter, then select your favorite Babysitting Angels to and in no time you'll find your new favorite babysitter.
Good to know: we personally check each Babysitting Angel. The Angel fills out information about herself, does the iDIN check and provides references. We check all this and ask for more information if necessary. That way we know exactly who we're dealing with.
Our extensive network of Angels is full of different types of Angels: Some have enough time to work as regular babysitters, others prefer flexible or after-school babysitters. You can also get a last minute babysitter. The best if you want a night out!
"Hi moms & dads in Utrecht! 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 in the direction of PABO, Pedagogy or other care-oriented studies. Real Angels, if you ask me!"
Our Babysitting Angels pick up your offspring from school, take them to sports or do other fun activities with them. But they are also happy to help out at last-minute moments! That means more me-time or quality time with your partner or friends. Let's go!
At Charly Cares, you can not only find a babysitter for your children, but you can also get help for an elderly person or arrange a sitter for your pet. Discover the possibilities of Senior Care and Pet Care at Charly Cares.
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.
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.
Angels are able to choose their own hourly rate, so it can be different per Angel. The hourly rate varies between approximately €8 and €15 per hour, it does not matter how many kids you have. The hourly rate stays the same, whether you have 1 or 3 kids.
You also pay the subscription costs and booking costs. The subscription is €13.99 per month and the booking fee is €1.99 per booking.
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.
