Why Melbourne Families Choose Gracie
We Are Gracie is a boutique nanny agency in Melbourne that brings together deeply personal matching, nurse-led safety support and ongoing care after placement. Each family is matched with a nanny through a careful understanding of your children, routines, household needs and the kind of person who will fit most naturally into everyday life.
As a nurse-founded nanny agency, Gracie brings a strong safety framework to childcare. We are the only nanny agency in Australia with a dedicated pediatric nurse as Head of Health and Safety, guiding our standards across nanny training, child safety and family support.

Nanny and Babysitter Services in Melbourne
Ongoing and Regular Care
Ongoing care is suited to families who need reliable childcare across the working week, from full-time and part-time arrangements to before and after-school care, school pickup and drop-off, homework help, tutoring and support for children across different ages.
In Melbourne suburbs like Toorak, South Yarra, Brighton, Hawthorn, Kew, Malvern and Camberwell, many families need care that can shift around layered schedules, multiple children, household tasks and changing work demands. Gracie can tailor roles across nanny share, twins and multiples care, FIFO family care, housekeeper/nanny, chef/nanny.
Flexible and Casual Care
For the gaps that appear around the regular week, flexible care covers casual nannies, weekend nannying, date nights, school holidays, summer care, working-from-home days and event care for weddings, parties and family occasions.
Gracie families can also draw on the wider Gracie network for ad hoc bookings, including emergency and last-minute care, sick-child care when daycare is off the cards, and sick-parent cover when extra help is needed at home.
Newborn and Postpartum Support
Newborn and postpartum care is for families in the fourth trimester who need experienced support with feeding, settling, overnight routines, recovery and the physical and emotional load of early parenthood. A Gracie night nanny in Melbourne brings genuine expertise and understanding for the needs of newborns and the realities of early recovery.
Specialist and Premium Care
Some families need care that can move with a more demanding schedule, from early morning support before school drop off to travel nannies for holidays, interstate trips and corporate travel. Gracie nannies can also assist with relocation support, complex family arrangements, sole parent support and grandparent gap cover, with each role matched with experience, discretion, privacy and a calm understanding of the home.
Backup Care, Sick Leave and Weekend Support
When you join Gracie, you’re supported by more than your placed nanny. You become part of the wider Gracie family, with ongoing support that continues well beyond the first match. If your nanny is sick, your weekend needs help, or you have a last-minute schedule snag, you can look to the wider Gracie nanny network for cover. It means families can move quickly when plans change, while Gracie keeps the same focus on safety, quality and fit.
