The Peace of Mind Parents Deserve: Why Professional Babysitting Matters

Written by Lisa

As parents, we wear many hats—carer, cook, educator, cleaner, taxi driver, emotional support crew, and more. But every now and then, whether it’s for work, a much-needed break, or a special event, we all need support. And when that moment comes, handing over the care of your children is no small decision.That’s why choosing professional babysitting—rather than relying on a neighbour’s teenager or a well-meaning friend—can make a world of difference. At Cherished Cherubs Babysitting, we understand how deeply parents value safety, reliability, and peace of mind. We’ve built our entire service around giving you just that.

Why “Professional” Babysitting Isn’t Just a Fancy Term

In today’s busy world, many people offer babysitting services. But not all sitters are created equal. A professional babysitter is someone who:

  • Is trained, qualified, and experienced in caring for children

  • Understands child development and behaviour management

  • Holds relevant clearances and first aid certifications

  • Shows up on time, communicates clearly, and treats the job with the utmost respect

Most importantly, they care deeply about the wellbeing of the children they look after—and about the trust parents place in them.

At Cherished Cherubs, we don’t just find “babysitters”—we engage warm, experienced carers who treat every family like their own.


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.
