1. Support for Working Parents With Irregular Hours
Not all work fits neatly into the 9-to-5 mould. Many Perth parents work part-time, on rotating rosters, or outside standard childcare hours—especially in industries like:
Healthcare and hospitals
FIFO and mining
Retail and hospitality
Emergency services
Small business and freelancing
For parents in these situations, long daycare centres often don’t offer the flexibility required. That’s where daytime babysitting comes in. Our sitters provide in-home care when you need it most, whether that’s 7am starts, mid-morning meetings, or school pickups.
2. Helping Stay-at-Home Parents Breathe Easier
Just because you’re home with the kids doesn’t mean you don’t need support. Parenting is an around-the-clock role, and everyone deserves time to recharge, regroup, or run errands without juggling a toddler on one hip.
Daytime babysitting is perfect for:
Attending appointments or therapy sessions
Resting during pregnancy or recovering from illness
Taking a break for mental health or self-care
Getting one-on-one time with another child
Catching up on household tasks without interruptions
At Cherished Cherubs, we believe it’s not just okay to ask for help—it’s healthy. You don’t have to do it all alone.
3. Educational and Developmental Play at Home
Our babysitters aren’t just there to supervise—they’re trained to engage, nurture, and stimulate your child’s development through age-appropriate activities. During daytime sessions, children have the opportunity to:
Enjoy interactive play, stories, music, and arts and crafts
Practise early literacy and numeracy skills
Build social-emotional confidence in one-on-one care
Follow consistent routines that align with your family’s rhythm
Because care happens in your home, children are more relaxed and able to learn through play in a familiar environment—which research shows supports cognitive and emotional growth.
4. A Smooth Solution During School Holidays and Pupil-Free Days
If you’ve ever scrambled to find care during school breaks or unexpected pupil-free days, you’re not alone. Many working parents find these gaps particularly stressful.
Daytime babysitting fills the gap with:
Flexible, on-demand bookings
In-home care for one child or multiple siblings
Customisable hours to suit your schedule
Fun and enriching activities to keep the kids happy and engaged
And for school-aged children who might feel too old for vacation care but too young to stay home alone, a trusted babysitter is the perfect in-between.
5. Reliable Backup When Usual Plans Fall Through
We all know how quickly plans can change—whether due to illness, work emergencies, or a friend or family member being unavailable. Daytime babysitting offers a dependable safety net so you’re not left scrambling.
At Cherished Cherubs, our team is responsive and ready to help, even at short notice. We know that life doesn’t always give you time to plan ahead—and we’re here to make sure your children are always in good hands, no matter what.

“I’m home with my kids most of the time, but I booked a sitter just so I could get a few hours to myself during the week. It made such a difference to my mental health. The kids love her, and so do I!”
