Our goal is to consistently offer families the care they require, especially during critical times. Should your primary nanny become unwell, we ensure families receive a replacement Gracie Nanny. We enforce a stringent sick leave policy that all our nannies adhere to.

If you need your nanny to drive, we prefer they use the family's car. If the nanny is under 25 years old, they must be designated as a driver on your policy. If the nanny opts to drive their own car, families will be charged 0.91 cents per kilometre travelled, covering fuel and the typical wear and tear of the vehicle, as outlined by Fair Work Australia.

Over the past five years, we've dedicated ourselves to crafting a brand that nannies are eager to be a part of. While our primary focus is on serving our families, we equally prioritise creating a positive working environment for our nannies. Our core values revolve around being fun, flexible, safe, and above all, supportive.We nurture and care for our nannies, recognising them as the backbone of Gracie. Many of our applicants and nannies seek out agencies like ours because they crave the support, safety, and alignment of values that we offer.

Our approach is solution-driven, flexible, adaptable, reliable, and prioritises safety. We aim to tailor our services around the unique needs of each family, avoiding rigid structures. Our goal is to be an extension of our families, always ready with a solution, regardless of the situation.

Grace, our founder, has dedicated 13 years to nurturing many young children as a nanny. To those she cared for, she became affectionately known as "Gracie." The inspiration behind naming our agency "Gracie" stemmed from Grace's mother, Leanne. She envisioned a way to include all the little children Grace cared for in her journey, thus naming the agency "Gracie."
