A female hospital worker sobbed in court as she admitted to planning horrific sex attacks on young children.
Operating theatre assistant Tracy Turner, 51, made indecent images of children as well as arranging to rape a child.
A court heard Turner and her partner Stuart Compton, 45, plotted to carry out sex attacks on multiple children.
They had previously been charged with hatching an alleged kidnap and murder of a girl under 13, but the court heard those charges would no longer be pursued.
Turner, who cried in the dock, admitted two counts of making indecent images of a child and six counts of arranging the commission of a child sex offence.
Compton admitted six counts of arranging the commission of a child sex offence.
The charges include arranging the sexual assault of a child between five and eight along with arranging the rape of a child between seven and ten.
Turner and Compton, from Cardiff, pleaded guilty to all charges at Cardiff Crown Court.

Judge, Recorder of Cardiff, Tracey Lloyd Clarke adjourned the case for sentence on July 28.
She said: ‘I know you have both been told an immediate and substantial sentence is inevitable in this case.’
Turner worked in the busy operating theatre at the 800-bed University of Wales Hospital in Cardiff until she was suspended after police were contacted.
A spokeswoman for Cardiff and Vale University Health Board said: ‘The health board suspended the individual once we were made aware of the allegations against them.
