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.
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."
Great care starts with great people.
I’m passionate about supporting families and making childcare that little bit easier. With a background in early childhood education and recruitment, I understand how important it is for families to find someone they can trust. I enjoy using my experience to help make that process as easy and personal as possible.
A team chosen for heart, not just CV
Our carers bring a range of childcare qualifications and experience. Each is personally interviewed, carefully screened, and selected for their genuine passion for supporting children and families.
I bring the fun, but I also bring the care, because kids deserve someone who genuinely wants to be there.
I bring both dedication and heart to every family I support, because every child deserves to feel secure, valued, and genuinely cared for.
I believe every child deserves to feel safe, supported and comfortable being themselves, while having the freedom to explore, learn and grow.
Hand-selected. Thoroughly vetted. Genuinely warm.
