‘I'm a professional cuddler!'

This Queensland grandmother can’t wait to be back hugging babies

- Megan Rowe

Snuggling up to precious newborn babies is all in a day’s work for baby whisperer Sue Llewelyn.

The retired grandmother-of four couldn’t believe her luck when she was offered the chance to train for the coveted volunteer role of cuddle carer at the Queensland Children’s Hospital four years ago.

Sue has since hugged hundreds of beautiful bubs when their parents need to take a break from their bedside, and says it is the most rewarding job she’s ever had.

Although COVID restrictions mean she isn’t currently on the ward, she’s counting down the days until she can resume cuddling duties.
