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.

For children, the world can feel big, busy, and sometimes overwhelming. What helps them feel safe and secure is consistency—knowing what to expect, who they can trust, and that they’re surrounded by familiar, caring faces.

That’s why at Cherished Cherubs Babysitting, we do everything we can to provide continuity of care. Whether your child is two months or ten years old, being cared for by the same trusted babysitter (or small, familiar team) helps build emotional safety, confidence, and genuine connection.

Let’s explore why continuity of care matters so much for children—and how our personalised approach supports their development, happiness, and overall wellbeing.

When planning a special event—whether it’s a wedding, corporate function, community day, or conference—there’s one important detail that often gets overlooked: childcare.

Parents want to attend, participate, and enjoy your event without worrying about whether their little ones will be safe, entertained, or restless in an adult-oriented setting. That’s where Cherished Cherubs Babysitting comes in. We provide professional event childcare across Perth to make sure your function is enjoyable for everyone—parents, kids, and organisers alike.

If you’re planning an event and wondering how to accommodate families, here’s how dedicated childcare can take your gathering from good to truly great.

Booking a babysitter for the first time can stir up all kinds of feelings—excitement, nerves, and maybe even a touch of guilt. That’s completely normal. After all, entrusting someone else to care for your child is a big step.

At Cherished Cherubs Babysitting, we understand that it’s not just about finding someone to watch the kids—it’s about finding someone you trust, who makes your child feel safe, happy, and supported. With a bit of preparation and the right sitter by your side, that first babysitting experience can be a positive and empowering one for everyone involved.

Here are some practical tips to help you and your child feel confident and comfortable for your very first babysitting session.

Life with children is a beautiful whirlwind—full of joy, unpredictability, and endless to-dos. Whether you’re a working parent juggling rosters, a mum needing a few child-free hours to catch your breath, or a family with unique schedules, flexible childcare isn’t a luxury—it’s a lifeline.

At Cherished Cherubs Babysitting, we understand that no two families are the same. That’s why we’ve designed our service to adapt to your routine, your needs, and your lifestyle. Since 2002, we’ve proudly supported Perth families by offering more than just babysitting—we offer peace of mind, delivered with heart.

When most people think of babysitting, they picture someone stepping in so parents can have a night out or attend an appointment. And while that’s certainly part of the story, quality babysitting offers so much more than a set of helping hands.

At Cherished Cherubs Babysitting, we believe every babysitting session is a chance to nurture, connect, and help children grow—not just keep them safe. When care is delivered with warmth, professionalism, and intention, it becomes a powerful tool in a child’s emotional and social development.

In this post, we’ll explore how babysitting can do more than meet a need—it can genuinely enrich your child’s life.

In today’s fast-paced world, balancing the demands of your career and the responsibilities of parenthood is a challenge many parents face. The need for a harmonious balance between these aspects of life is essential, not just for personal well-being, but also for the healthy development of children. At Cherished Cherubs Babysitting, we understand this dynamic, and we’re here to provide solutions that make balancing these commitments easier and more fulfilling. Here’s how professional babysitting services can help you achieve a better work-life balance.

As a parent, nothing is more precious than the safety and happiness of your child. So when it comes time to leave them in someone else’s care, it’s only natural to want the very best.

Finding the right babysitter isn’t just about availability—it’s about trust, connection, and confidence. Whether you’re booking occasional support or seeking regular care, knowing what to look for in a babysitter can make all the difference.

At Cherished Cherubs, we’ve spent over two decades helping Perth families find babysitters they can rely on. Every carer we send into a family’s home is carefully chosen not just for their skills, but for the heart they bring to their work.
