What we stand for?
At Gracie, we believe childcare should feel like an extension of your home built on trust, guided by care, & tailored to the unique rhythm of every family.
At Gracie, we value communication, understanding and are dedicated to meeting the unique needs of each family and child in our care. We are committed to providing a childcare experience that is tailor-made, recognising the individuality of every family dynamic, parenting style and child’s personality.
We provide a childcare experience that feels as special as each of the families we serve. It’s what sets us apart and ensures we form meaningful and long lasting relationships with our families.
We want to make busy families’ lives easier by creating that ‘ah moment’ when parents walk into a well organised home, full of happy children. It’s little things that make a world of difference. Our services extend to areas such as weekly meal preparation, changing children’s sheets, moving the washing along and more. That’s just part of how we do it!
At Gracie, Trust and Safety isn’t a checkbox. It’s our foundation. In this ever-evolving space, we are committed to continually raising the bar so that families feel our unwavering care and clinical-level commitment throughout every step of their journey with us.
Gracie has been founded on the values of trust and safety. Our nannies are backed by the expertise of a registered nurse, offering a higher level of specialised knowledge in caring for children. We emphasise the importance of creating a safe, reliable environment for every family, where parents can feel confident knowing their children are in capable, caring hands.
We are proud to be the only nanny agency in Australia with a Head of Health and Safety who is a qualified paediatric nurse. This role is central to our operations, overseeing ongoing training, rolling out new courses, checking in with families, and ensuring we are across all relevant medical conditions and care needs. It’s a level of safety oversight that sets Gracie apart and brings clinical care into the world of in-home support.
Our dedicated team of nannies undergo rigorous training to ensure every placement meets the highest levels of responsibility and professionalism. Behind this is our specialist health and safety team, who uphold our standards with precision and care. Our founder, Grace, draws on her background as an Oncology Nurse and Graduate Coordinator at Epworth Hospital, applying the same attention to detail and excellence to Gracie’s operations.
We’ve implemented innovative systems to monitor and manage our nanny qualifications, from first aid and CPR to current Working with Children Checks and police clearances, so that everything remains consistently up to date.
Our approach is comprehensive. Detailed policy and procedure documentation, strong codes of conduct, and safety education videos help guide our carers. We also proudly maintain active partnerships and endorsements with organisations like Kidsafe Victoria.
We’re deeply committed to safety, ensuring our families feel this unwavering commitment and passion throughout their entire journey with Gracie Nanny Agency.
With years of experience, we understand what busy parents truly need: a nanny your children adore, a calm and organised home, and a support system that feels like an extension of you. That’s why we don’t just match nannies. We integrate them into your family’s daily rhythm, values, and lifestyle.
Our approach is hands-on and deeply personal. From day one, we stay connected with regular check-ins, ongoing feedback loops, and consistent communication to ensure everything is working smoothly. We offer in-home visits, tailored advice, and even free, on-the-ground training when needed. We are committed to doing whatever it takes to make the relationship a success.
Our nannies are selected not only for their qualifications, but for their ability to blend seamlessly into your household and provide care that reflects your unique family dynamic. At Gracie, we believe the care you receive shouldn’t come from just one person. It should come from a whole team that knows you, supports you, and is always there in the background, cheering you on.
We’re here to help your home run smoothly, your children feel safe and loved, and you stay confidently connected every step of the way.
Why Gracie is Australia's safest nanny agency
We Are Gracie is the only nanny agency in Australia with a paediatric nurse as Head of Health and Safety.
That clinical standard began with our founder, Grace, a registered nurse with a background in oncology nursing and graduate coordination at Epworth Hospital. Her experience shaped the way we think about care in the home: warmth matters, judgment matters and safety is everything.
Our safety standards live in the everyday details of care. Nannies are trained and supported over time, medical disclosures are handled by our Head of Health and Safety, and regular family check-ins help us stay close to what is happening in the home. Behind the scenes, clear documentation and updated protocols keep the important details where they need to be.
The same standard follows each Gracie family, whether they are in Melbourne, Sydney, Perth or Brisbane.
Every nanny is carefully vetted before joining We Are Gracie, including:
- Police Checks
- Working With Children Check
- First Aid and CPR Certification
- Reference Checks
- In-home onboarding visits
- Kids Safe Australia Accident Prevention Course
- Anaphylaxis Course
- Specific Safety training to any family with a Medical Profile

Family Reviews
Leaving your children with a stranger for the first time is daunting to say the least but for Martha’s first day Grace popped into my house to make sure things were OK, she met my children and provided Martha with a printout of my children’s routine, likes, dislikes, emergency contact numbers and any tasks around the house that I wanted Martha to help with. I can not recommend Gracie enough
Brodie, Port Melbourne
The process is always daunting however Grace went above and beyond to find us the perfect carer for our two boys. She made the interview and pairing process work so seamlessly, ensuring our family values and qualities aligned with our future nanny. We adore Lucy and all she has provided for our family with during her time over the last year and a half. We are eternally grateful for Gracie Boutique.
Klara & Damon
Grace has exceeded our expectations and is across absolutely everything. We were never left wondering. The high level of communication has flown onto our lovely nanny. She communicates and updates us regularly. It has given myself and my husband so much reassurance and comfort and we couldn't recommend Gracie high enough.
Jane, South Melbourne
Our first day with a Gracie nanny exceeded our expectations. it was heaven coming home to a tidy house, washing done and most importantly happy kids!
Stephanie, Kensington
Joining Gracie Boutique Nanny Agency was the best decision I made for my family. I couldn't recommend Grace and her team more.
Simone, Carlton
Coming home to a neat tidy home with my children bathed and fed, was a game changer.
Ruby, Hawthorn
Bec is absolutely amazing, Vance adores her and so does our dog! She goes above and beyond when she’s here doing more than I ever ask of her. She cooks, she cleans, we always come home to a tidy house, with Vance fed and bathed, ready for cuddles with us before bed.
Ellin & Ryan
From the moment we reach out to Gracie Nanny Agency, we knew we made the right decision! Our nanny, Annie, was a godsend and our girls absolutely adore her. We weren’t sure how it would feel having another person in our house, looking after our kids, but Annie made us feel so comfortable and did a beautiful job with our darling girls. Cannot recommend Gracie enough!
Sarah
To say having Sophie joining our family has been amazing, would be an understatement! We come home from work to our children who are happy, bathed, fed and in their pyjamas. Not to mention, the sheets are changed, the laundry is always empty, with all the washing folded and away, the lunch boxes packed and ready for the next day and there is honestly nothing left for me to do!
Allison
We are so lucky to have had Grace as our nanny caring for our three children. Grace is an absolute natural with children. She is extremely sensible and incredibly affectionate. Grace quickly became an adored member of our family.
Georgie & Chris
Grace has been an incredible addition to our family. Grace was the first person I left my 12month old daughter with, other than family, when I returned to work. Hence I was initially a little apprehensive however Grace made me feel very comfortable with her regular, honest, open, communication.
Laura & Dave
You know those people that kids flock to? That walk through the room with a trail of children just trying to be near them? That's Grace, who is a very trusted and in demand Nanny (and Nurse!) Her skills with children is second to none and I know through her guidance her Nannies will be top notch.
