We had a very discouraging experience with CharlyCares. The “angel” we booked simply didn’t show up and never responded to any of our messages. To make matters worse, the phone number on her profile turned out to be fake. I was under the impression that CharlyCares verifies their babysitters and their contact details—after all, trust is supposed to be at the core of the service, isn’t it?
Because of this, we ended up missing a theatre performance we had really been looking forward to. What’s also disappointing is that, despite advertising 24/7 support when you sign up and pay the membership fee, CharlyCares is actually only reachable on weekdays from 8:30 to 17:00. When you really need help, that makes a big difference.
