Beyond the Basics: The Cherished Cherubs Difference in Early Childhood Development

Written by Lisa

Our philosophy is rooted in the understanding that every interaction is a learning opportunity. We don’t see a few hours of babysitting as just 'time out' for the parents; we see it as quality time for the children. Our sitters are carefully chosen for their passion and expertise in early childhood development, turning every session into an engaging and enriching experience.

1. Fostering Development Through Play

Play is the most powerful tool for a child’s development. It’s how they learn to solve problems, express themselves, and understand the world around them. Our sitters are skilled at creating engaging, age-appropriate activities that are both fun and educational.

  • For Toddlers: Our sitters might use simple games to help with colour recognition and counting, or build towers with blocks to improve fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination.
  • For Preschoolers: They could engage in imaginative play, like building a ‘fort’ or pretending to be astronauts, which helps develop creativity and social skills. They’ll read stories together, encouraging a love for language and expanding their vocabulary.
  • For School-Aged Children: Our sitters are fantastic at helping with homework, doing a craft project, or even going on a ‘nature hunt’ in the backyard. These activities encourage critical thinking, teamwork, and a sense of curiosity.

We believe in putting down the screens and picking up the crayons, the books, and the building blocks. It’s about being present and engaging in a way that genuinely enriches your child’s day.


Our Stringent Vetting Process: A Commitment to Expertise

So, how do we ensure our babysitters are capable of this high level of care? It comes down to our rigorous and thorough vetting process. As you know, in Australia, particularly with guidance from legislation like Queensland’s Child Protection Act 1999, the emphasis on child safety and a duty of care is paramount. We adhere to these laws and go even further to ensure our team is made up of the very best.

  • Working with Children Check (WWCC): Every single one of our sitters has a valid WWCC, a mandatory check that confirms their suitability to work with children.
  • Police Clearance and Background Checks: We conduct detailed police and background checks to ensure the complete safety and integrity of our team.
  • Extensive Interview Process: Our interviews aren’t just about qualifications; they’re about passion. We look for individuals who genuinely love working with kids and have a natural warmth and positive attitude.
  • Reference Verification: We personally check and verify all professional references to ensure our sitters have a proven track record of excellent care.

When we say we provide a ‘cherished’ experience, we mean it. It’s a promise that every person who comes into your home is not only a professional but a kind, nurturing individual who will treat your child with the love and respect they deserve.

“Our sitter has become like an honorary aunty to our kids. She knows their routines and what makes them tick, and they look forward to her visits every week. It’s been a lifesaver.”
