Start Your Career as Nanny with Gracie Boutique
To be a Gracie Nanny is to make a difference in little lives and leave a lasting impact on every family you support
You hold one of the most important jobs in the world: caring for other people’s children. To be a nanny is to play one of the most meaningful roles in a family’s life. You are deeply caring, with a natural instinct to nurture, guide, and protect. You love being a supportive figure and a comforting presence, the kind of person children feel safe to run to and parents can rely on with complete trust.
You find joy in the little things, from the sparkle in a child’s eye when they learn something new to the big milestones you’ll help them reach along the way. For you, nannying isn’t just a job; it’s a calling, a chance to make a difference every single day in the lives of children and families. At Gracie, we believe this work deserves respect, investment, and support. That’s why we walk beside you every step of the way. With ongoing training, guidance from experienced leaders, and a community that values and celebrates you, we make sure you feel just as cared for as the families you support.
When you join the Gracie family, you’re not just building a career, you’re stepping into a role where love, professionalism, and purpose come together. Here, your work matters, your growth matters, and most of all, you matter.
At Gracie, we believe that a truly remarkable nanny embodies more than just professional skill. They bring heart, dedication, and a genuine love for children into every home.
Patience & Empathy
We value nannies who meet every child where they are, responding with kindness, calm, and compassion. Patience allows space for children to grow at their own pace, while empathy ensures they always feel seen and heard.
Communication & Trust
Clear, respectful communication builds strong partnerships between nannies, parents, and children. Trust is the foundation of every placement, and we treasure nannies who uphold it with consistency and care.
Creativity & Playfulness
Childhood is about discovery. We celebrate nannies who infuse daily routines with imagination, fun, and curiosity, turning ordinary moments into exciting opportunities for learning and joy.
Reliability & Professionalism
Families deserve confidence and peace of mind. That’s why we value nannies who show up with reliability, responsibility, and pride in the important work they do every day.
Commitment to Growth
Our nannies don’t just care for children, they nurture their development. Whether it’s supporting emotional wellbeing, encouraging independence, or celebrating milestones, their influence leaves a lasting impact.
At Gracie, these values are not just words. They are the gold standard by which we select, guide, and support every nanny in our family.
At Gracie, professionalism goes hand in hand with care. Above all, safety is our number one non-negotiable value. We have a deep and unwavering investment in safeguarding children, and we only accept nannies who share this commitment. Every Gracie Nanny must recognise the seriousness of this responsibility and join us on the journey of providing the safest possible care in every home. Alongside safety, we value organisation, reliability, and trustworthiness. A great nanny creates a secure, well-structured environment where children thrive and families feel supported. Confidentiality and respect for family matters are also essential, ensuring that every household feels protected and respected. Strong problem-solving skills, initiative, and a calm, respectful demeanour allow our nannies to navigate challenges with confidence and model positive behaviour for children.
To be considered for a role with us, you will need to hold relevant qualifications, experience, and training. This ensures that every Gracie Nanny upholds the gold standard of care, combining professional expertise with a genuine love for children.
