Why “Professional” Babysitting Isn’t Just a Fancy Term
Safety is Non-Negotiable
Every parent’s first concern is always the same: “Will my child be safe?” And rightly so.
In Western Australia, babysitters working with children are required to hold a valid Working With Children Check (WWCC). This background screening helps ensure that carers do not have any relevant criminal history that may pose a risk to children. Similarly, in Queensland, a Blue Card is mandatory for anyone in child-related work.
At Cherished Cherubs, we go above and beyond the legal minimum:
Every babysitter is WWCC cleared
Police clearance and reference checks are mandatory
All sitters are trained in First Aid and CPR, specifically for children
We conduct in-depth interviews and personally match babysitters to families based on experience and compatibility
You’re not just hiring a sitter—you’re welcoming someone who’s passed one of the most thorough screening processes in the industry.
Emotional Safety Matters Too
Children don’t just need supervision—they need connection. A professional babysitter knows how to build trust with a child, speak to them at their level, and provide warmth, encouragement, and comfort.
This kind of emotional care promotes:
Confidence and independence
Reduced anxiety when parents leave
A positive experience that your child will look forward to
At Cherished Cherubs, our babysitters are chosen for their genuine passion for working with children. Many have backgrounds in teaching, childcare, or allied health, and all bring a nurturing, respectful approach to every interaction.
The Relief of Reliability
When you book a professional babysitter, you’re not just booking care—you’re booking reliability. There’s no guessing, no last-minute cancellations, and no awkward “are they going to show up?” moments.
Our team is known across Perth for being:
Punctual and committed
Clear communicators with families
Flexible—able to adapt to different routines, needs, and personalities
Prepared—ready to handle everything from nappy changes to bedtime battles
That means less stress for you, and a smoother, more enjoyable experience for your child.
Professional Babysitting Helps the Whole Family Thrive
Think of professional babysitting as an investment in your family’s wellbeing. It offers:
Time to recharge your own batteries
Support during work shifts, appointments, or emergencies
One-on-one attention for your child in the comfort of their own home
A helping hand when life gets a little too busy
We often hear from parents who didn’t realise how much they needed a trusted babysitter—until they experienced it for the first time.
