Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

Charly Cares is a well-established Dutch babysitting platform that recently underwent bankruptcy and a restart (May 2025). While the platform has demonstrated verifiable traction with over 20,000 historical users (families and sitters) and high real-world utility, the submission itself contains significant inaccuracies (claiming 'everyone' as the audience) and lacks specific data. The score reflects a legitimate regional service with proven utility, dampened by recent financial instability and a low-quality submission.
