A sweet child angel? (6)

I believe the answer is:

cherub

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'a sweet child' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'angel?' is the second definition.
(I know that cherub is a type of angel)

(Other definitions for cherub that I've seen before include "Lovely child" , "goody-goody?" , "Angelic child" , "Sweet, innocent child" , "A heavenly baby" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
