The Emotional Gap: Replacing Support, Not Love
For many parents, it’s not just about having “help” with the kids—it’s about having someone you trust. Someone who’s gentle, patient, and loving. Someone who’ll cuddle your toddler when they cry, read the same book for the fifth time, and make your child feel safe while you’re away.
That’s exactly what our babysitters provide.
While no one can replace a grandparent’s love, a professional, caring babysitter can offer emotional continuity, especially when introduced early and consistently. Many of our sitters develop beautiful bonds with the children they care for—and quickly become familiar, beloved faces in the family routine.
Life Without Nearby Family: You’re Not Alone
Here in Perth, we support many families who have relocated for work, study, or lifestyle. Whether you’ve moved from another part of Australia or overseas, it can be hard when you don’t have that “village” to lean on.
Professional babysitting offers a supportive alternative:
Reliable care when emergencies pop up
Help during school holidays or when your partner travels
A break when parenting feels overwhelming
Evening and weekend support so you can maintain your relationship, career, or wellbeing
At Cherished Cherubs, we fill this space with compassion and consistency, so you never feel like you’re doing it all alone.
Professional Babysitters Bring Skills That Go Beyond Family Help
While grandparents are often loving and generous with their time, they may not always be able to meet the demands of today’s busy parenting world—especially when it comes to things like:
Navigating modern parenting approaches
Managing energetic toddlers or multiple children at once
Keeping up with routines, school schedules, or dietary needs
Safely responding to health concerns or emergencies
Our babysitters are:
Fully vetted with Working With Children Checks, police clearance, and First Aid certification
Trained and experienced in caring for children of all ages
Professional, punctual, and respectful of your home and family culture
Matched to your child’s needs and personality for the best fit
They bring the same loving energy you’d hope for from family—but with the added confidence that comes from professional training and screening.
Flexibility That Adapts to Your Life
One of the biggest advantages of working with a professional babysitting service is flexibility. Whether you need:
A regular sitter every Tuesday afternoon
Help during school holidays
Evening care for a date night
Backup when your usual plans fall through
…we’re here to help.
At Cherished Cherubs, we tailor our support to fit your family’s needs—without guilt, judgement, or long-term commitment. You don’t need to rely on favours or feel like you’re imposing. You’re simply accessing trusted care when you need it most.
Helping Children Feel Loved and Secure
Children benefit enormously from warm, responsive relationships with caregivers—whether they’re family members or trusted sitters.
With regular babysitting:
Children build secure bonds with their sitter
They learn to feel comfortable and safe in new relationships
Their social and emotional development is supported
They gain confidence in separating from parents and transitioning between carers
Many of the families we support say that having a familiar sitter in their child’s life has boosted their child’s confidence, settled anxiety, and even helped with school readiness.
Real Families, Real Peace of Mind
“We moved to Perth for work and don’t have any family here. Cherished Cherubs stepped in and made everything feel easier. Our sitter is so lovely with the kids, and I can finally go to appointments without stress.”
– Alice, Mum of 2, Como
“My parents used to help a lot, but they’re not well enough now. We felt a bit lost until we booked through Cherished Cherubs. The sitter was professional, warm, and absolutely wonderful with our son.”
– Anthony & Lisa, Mount Hawthorn
“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.”
– Jess, Mum of 3, Canning Vale
