In 2015, Charly van der Straten and Xander Koenen embarked on a mission to simplify the lives of parents across the Netherlands. They founded Charly Cares, a platform designed to connect parents with reliable babysitters. The idea was born out of a personal need for trustworthy childcare solutions, which they realized was a widespread issue among parents.
Charly Cares quickly gained traction by offering a seamless and secure way for parents to find babysitters. The platform's success was driven by its commitment to safety and reliability, ensuring that all babysitters were thoroughly vetted. This approach resonated with parents, leading to rapid growth and expansion across the country.
A significant milestone in Charly Cares' journey came when the company was acquired for €90,000. This acquisition marked a new chapter, providing the resources and support needed to enhance the platform and reach more families. Despite the challenges of scaling a tech-driven service, Charly Cares remained focused on its core mission of providing peace of mind to parents.
Today, Charly Cares stands as a testament to the power of addressing everyday problems with innovative solutions. The company's journey reflects the dedication of its founders to create a service that not only meets a critical need but also builds a community of trust and care.
