Meet the team

The people behind the care.

For over 20 years we've supported Perth families with reliable, in-home childcare that fits real family life — delivered by carers who genuinely care, and led by someone who built this from the heart.

Lia
Founder & Director
Our founder

Built from the heart, in 2005

Lia founded Babysitters on Demand because she saw Perth families being treated like booking numbers, not people. Twenty years on, she still personally interviews every carer who joins the team — because the right qualifications get you through the door, but it's warmth and character that earn a place caring for a family's children.

"When a family messages to say their kids had the best time, that warms my soul every single time. That is why I built this."

Our carers

A team chosen for heart, not just CV

Our carers are qualified early childhood educators — personally interviewed, fully screened, and genuinely loved by the families they care for.

Shannen
Early childhood educator

I bring the fun, but I also bring the care, because kids deserve someone who genuinely wants to be there.

Makayla

Early childhood educator

I bring both dedication and heart to every family I support, because every child deserves to feel secure, valued, and genuinely cared for.

How we choose our carers

Hand-selected. Thoroughly vetted. Genuinely warm.

Police clearance & record check

Current police clearance and full criminal record check for every carer, before they walk through your door.

Working With Children Check

A valid WWC Check for every carer — non-negotiable, verified before every placement.

First Aid certified

Every carer is First Aid certified — prepared, trained and ready to respond calmly in any situation.

Reference checked

We speak to past families and employers — because a track record of trust matters as much as a qualification.

Qualified & experienced

From early childhood educators to nurses, teachers and experienced parents — real skills and real experience.

Personally interviewed by Lia

The final, most important step — our Director meets every carer to be sure they have the warmth families deserve.
