Nanny Agency Sydney Personalised Care, Clinical-Level Safety
Gracie matches Sydney families with trusted, vetted nannies and babysitters who can step into the rhythm of the household with skill and warmth. Founded by a registered nurse, Gracie brings clinical-level safety and personalised support to the process of finding exceptional care for your children. For families looking for a nanny in Sydney, Australia, our approach combines careful matching, nurse-led standards, and ongoing support.
Why Sydney Families Choose Gracie
Care looks different in every Sydney home. It might be school pickup and dinner prep, newborn support during the day, help around a demanding work schedule, or a nanny who can become a familiar part of the week. Gracie takes time to consider the details, then matches you with a nanny in Sydney who can step into your home in a way that feels natural.
Gracie is the only nanny agency in Sydney with a dedicated paediatric nurse as Head of Health & Safety. That means our matching is backed by nurse-led standards, careful screening, and a deeper understanding of what safe in-home care really asks for.
Once your nanny begins their role, we stay close. Onboarding, check-ins, and feedback help the relationship settle properly, so expectations feel clear, all your needs are understood, and care becomes a seamless part of your family life.
Nanny and Babysitter Services in Sydney
Ongoing and Regular Care
Family life can come with a lot of moving parts: early meetings, school runs, daycare pickup, homework, dinner, bath time; older children on one schedule and younger ones on another. Gracie matches families with full-time, part-time, and regular weekly care around how your home works.
And when you need more than childcare alone, we can match you with a housekeeper/nanny combination to support children and home routines, or a chef/nanny combination for families who need care alongside meal preparation.
Flexible and Casual Care
Sometimes the day needs a fast, steady plan. Your little one is at home sick, your workday has changed shape, or you simply want to meet up with an old friend in town for one night only. Gracie offers casual nannying, weekend nannying, date night babysitting, school holiday care, summer nanny support, event care for weddings and parties, and emergency last-minute care.
Families looking for a babysitter in Sydney can call on the wider Gracie nanny network for casual bookings, not only their placed nanny. From sick child care and sick parent cover to support while working from home, Gracie helps arrange trusted care quickly, with the same standards, screening, and support behind every booking.
Newborn and Postpartum Support
For new parents, the fourth trimester can bring a level of physical and emotional demand that is difficult to understand until you’re in it. Whether you’re recovering from birth, adjusting to broken sleep, or caring for multiples, Gracie brings welcome relief into the early weeks.
We specialise in night newborn care for families who need a steady, experienced hand when the night feels long and the learning curve feels steep. Our night nannies bring the warmth and expertise needed to support your baby through the night while helping parents feel less alone during it.
Along with overnight newborn nannies and night nanny support, Gracie also offers daytime newborn care and postpartum support shaped around your recovery, your baby, and the way your home is adjusting.
Specialist and Premium Care
Some Sydney families need care that can move with a more complex life. Flights, early starts, changing schedules, privacy considerations, public-facing work, multiple homes, children with different routines, and weeks that need everything to run seamlessly in the background.
Gracie brings warmth to every family we support, with the discretion and coordination needed when the details carry more weight. We can match your family with experienced nannies for holidays and interstate trips, corporate travel support, relocation care, early morning school support, grandparent gap cover, and sole parent support, all shaped around what works for your family.
Backup Care, Sick Leave and Weekend Support
Some days ask for a new plan before breakfast. Work needs you, the weekend fills up, or your usual lineup suddenly needs another trusted adult. With Gracie, your care does not begin and end with one placed nanny. Families can access our wider nanny network in Sydney for sick cover, weekend care, and last-minute support, with our team helping organise the right care quickly.
If your nanny is unwell, we help arrange backup care through our network, so you’re supported without having to do any frantic searching. Gracie is complete care designed to give families peace of mind well beyond the first match.
How Gracie Matches Your Family
Finding the right nanny in Sydney starts with understanding what care looks like inside your home. In our first conversation, we’ll ask about the school run, work schedules, nap routines, homework, travel arrangements, your children’s personalities, your values, and the kind of person who will feel right in the mix.
From there, Gracie builds a curated shortlist of nannies matched to your family. With up to 40 nannies interviewed daily, our team can look beyond availability and focus on the details that make a strong fit.
You interview shortlisted nannies, then choose the person who feels right. Once they’re chosen, we help with in-home onboarding so routines and expectations are clear, then stay close with check-ins, feedback, and practical support as the relationship settles into a familiar rhythm.
Safety You Can Count On
Choosing someone to care for your children is a big act of trust, and Gracie treats it that way. Our nurse-founded approach is strengthened by Australia’s only dedicated Head of Health & Safety within a nanny agency, a qualified paediatric nurse who helps keep safety woven through the way our nannies are selected, trained, and supported.
Before joining a family, each nanny completes a careful screening process that covers Working with Children Check requirements, verified first aid and CPR, and police checks every two years. Their training also reaches into the moments that matter at home, including accident prevention with KidSafe Australia, anaphylaxis, choking, road safety, personal safety, and healthy boundaries through Safe In Every Home.
We also make sure your nanny understands the health information that matters for your child, from allergies and medication to any additional support needs.
