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.

G’day, lovely parents!

Life with little ones is a whirlwind of beautiful firsts—first steps, first words, first day of school. But as a parent, you also have your own ‘firsts’ that are just as significant. The first date night after baby arrives, the first time you leave your child with someone new, or the big moment of returning to work. These are more than just events; they’re milestones that mark the evolving journey of your family. Here at Cherished Cherubs, we believe that these moments shouldn’t be a source of stress but a time to feel supported and confident.

Leaving your baby or toddler in someone else’s care is one of the biggest leaps of trust a parent can make. Whether you’re returning to work, heading out for an appointment, or just needing a moment to breathe, you want to know your little one is in safe, loving, and capable hands.

At Cherished Cherubs Babysitting, we understand how precious these early years are—and how much confidence it takes to invite someone new into your child’s world. That’s why our babysitters are not only qualified and experienced, but carefully chosen for their warmth, intuition, and genuine love of caring for babies and toddlers.

So, what exactly sets a great babysitter apart when it comes to the tiniest members of your family? Let’s take a closer look.

Starting school is one of the biggest milestones in a child’s early years. For parents, it’s a moment filled with pride, excitement—and often, a bit of worry. Is my child ready? Will they adjust well? Will they cope with the new routines?

The good news is, school readiness isn’t about knowing how to read or write before day one. It’s about developing the emotional, social, and practical skills to navigate the structure of a school day with confidence and independence.

At Cherished Cherubs Babysitting, we understand just how important these early foundations are. And while most people think of babysitting as a short-term support for evenings or weekends, it can play a powerful role in helping children prepare for school—especially when care is consistent, nurturing, and tailored to your child’s stage of development.

As parents, we often put our children’s needs before our own—and while that’s a natural part of nurturing a family, it can sometimes come at a cost. Between sleepless nights, endless to-do lists, and the emotional load of raising tiny humans, many parents and carers find themselves feeling exhausted, overwhelmed, or even burnt out.

At Cherished Cherubs Babysitting, we want every parent to know: you’re not alone—and it’s okay to ask for help. Babysitting isn’t just about giving you time away from the kids. It’s about supporting your wellbeing, helping you feel calmer and more capable, and giving you the chance to breathe.

Here’s how trusted, professional babysitting can make a meaningful difference to your mental health—and why prioritising your own care is one of the best things you can do for your family.

In many families, grandparents are the first people we think of when we need help with the kids. Whether it’s picking them up from school, watching them while we run errands, or stepping in during school holidays, grandparents often play a key role in supporting modern family life.

But what happens when grandparents simply aren’t available?

Maybe they live interstate or overseas. Perhaps they’re still working full-time or dealing with their own health needs. Some families don’t have extended family nearby at all.

At Cherished Cherubs Babysitting, we understand how challenging it can feel when you’re trying to do it all on your own. That’s why so many Perth families turn to professional babysitting—not as a last resort, but as a trusted, flexible, and reliable solution that fills the gap with warmth, care, and professionalism.

Here’s how professional babysitting can become the next best thing when grandparents can’t be there—and sometimes, even better.

Babysitting is so much more than just supervision. At Cherished Cherubs Babysitting, we see each visit as an opportunity to connect, inspire, and enrich a child’s day. Whether it’s a few hours after school, a daytime session during school holidays, or an evening booking, our babysitters come prepared to make every moment count.

We know that children thrive when they’re engaged in meaningful, age-appropriate play. That’s why our babysitters bring more than just their qualifications—they bring creativity, patience, and a big box of fun ideas!

Here are some of the most loved activities our sitters do with children across Perth—and how these moments help nurture learning, confidence, and joy.

For many families, the first time a child is left with a babysitter can feel like a big emotional step—for both the child and the parent. Tears, clinginess, and worry are all part of what we know as separation anxiety, a normal developmental stage that most children experience at some point.

At Cherished Cherubs Babysitting, we understand just how important it is to get this first experience right. With warmth, patience, and the right approach, a good babysitter doesn’t just care for your child while you’re away—they help your child feel safe, secure, and confident, even when you’re not there.

If you’re preparing for your first babysitting session—or supporting a child through ongoing separation anxiety—here’s how a caring, professional sitter can make all the difference.

Western Australia is home to thousands of families living the FIFO (Fly-In, Fly-Out) lifestyle—a rhythm that can be both rewarding and incredibly challenging. While FIFO work provides financial stability and career opportunities, it also brings a unique set of pressures for the families holding things together at home.

At Cherished Cherubs Babysitting, we work with many FIFO families across Perth and understand the emotional and practical demands this lifestyle can place on parents and children. Whether it’s giving a solo parent some breathing room, supporting a smooth changeover day, or helping with school runs when life gets hectic, we’re here to offer care that fits around your family’s changing needs.

Here’s how babysitting can help FIFO families stay strong, supported, and connected—no matter the roster.

When people think of babysitting, the first thing that comes to mind is usually an evening out—a romantic dinner, a wedding, or a much-needed night off. But here at Cherished Cherubs Babysitting, we know that care needs don’t follow a clock. In fact, some of the most important support families need happens during the day.

Whether you’re a working parent, juggling shift work, a stay-at-home mum needing a breather, or simply someone trying to manage life’s endless list of responsibilities, daytime babysitting can offer the flexible, professional help you need to feel more balanced and supported.

Here’s how daytime babysitting is making life easier for families across Perth—and why it might be just what your household needs too.
