Ongoing Nanny & Regular Care
Gracie places trusted, vetted nannies with Australian families looking for steady, ongoing care. Founded by registered nurse Grace, the agency takes a thorough, personal approach to every placement, with Health and Safety led by a paediatric nurse. Gracie looks beyond the basics to find someone families can trust, welcome into their home and rely on in everyday life. Someone who knows the rhythms, notices the small things and helps the whole household thrive. Find your nanny.
Full-Time Nanny Placement
A full-time nanny becomes one with the week: there for the Monday morning rush, the slower Wednesday afternoon and all the meals, naps, missing school books and small moments in between. Alongside dedicated childcare, many Gracie nannies support the household with meal preparation, laundry, home organisation and the practical details that help family life stay steady.
Gracie matches for personality as carefully as qualifications. When Grace interviewed for her first nanny role at 19, the family chose her over more experienced candidates because they recognised the warmth, initiative and natural fit that cannot be captured on a CV. Grace stayed with the family for seven years. Today, Gracie searches for that same modern-day Mary Poppins quality: a nanny with the experience to care capably, the instinct to notice what is needed and the warmth to become a much-loved part of family life.
With up to 40 nanny interviews conducted each day, families receive a carefully shaped shortlist rather than a stack of CV’s. Every candidate is also assessed through Gracie’s Safety First program.
Part-Time and Flexible Regular Care
For a part-time nanny, Gracie begins with the shape of your week and then builds care around it. That might mean two steady days, school-hours support, a nanny-housekeeper who keeps children and home looked after, or a flexible arrangement that shifts with travel, rosters and family commitments.
Some weeks begin before sunrise. Others hinge on a grandparent’s availability, a late meeting or a FIFO return date circled on the calendar. Gracie maps care to the week, matching families in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth with nannies who can bring steadiness to even the most scattered schedules.
Before and After School Nanny Care
Gracie can arrange an after-school nanny for the hours around the school day, from breakfast and drop-off through to pick-up, homework, tutoring, activities and school holiday cover when OSHC isn’t enough.
The match centres on someone who understands the pace of school-age children and can meet them with the right mix of warmth, structure and independence. They can help a child settle into homework, keep track of the afternoon plan and make space for the stories, questions and whatever else comes home with the school bag.
Backup Care, Sick Leave and Network Access
Every Gracie family has access to more than their placed nanny. The wider network can provide sick leave cover, additional regular hours and ad hoc shifts when extra care is needed.
Gracie manages the search and coordination, so families don’t need to begin again each time plans change. This ongoing support means you’re part of the Gracie family from the beginning, giving parents and carers a stronger care arrangement with a dependable team behind it.
How Gracie Matches Your Family
Finding your full-time or part-time nanny begins with an enquiry form and a welcome call with a member of the Gracie team, where we chat about the shape of your family life, your schedule and hopes for how care will work in your home. From there, recruitment begins.
Gracie interviews up to 40 nannies each day, then narrows the field to a curated shortlist of people whose qualifications match and feel right for the household. Families meet their shortlist over Zoom, choose the nanny they connect with, and Gracie’s in-house Registered Nurse completes the final credential and compliance checks through the Safety First process.
Once the placement begins, a WhatsApp group brings the family, nanny and Gracie team together in one place. Gracie checks in closely after two weeks and monthly from then on, inviting honest feedback, helping with any adjustments and staying actively involved as the relationship settles and grows.
Safety Behind Every Placement
Safety is built into every layer of a Gracie placement. The agency was founded by a registered nurse and is the only one in Australia with a qualified paediatric nurse dedicated to the role of Head of Health and Safety, bringing clinical expertise to the way every nanny is screened, prepared and supported.
Every Gracie casual, part-time or full-time nanny holds a Working with Children Check, First Aid and CPR certification, with police checks renewed every two years. Their preparation also includes Kidsafe Australia accident prevention, anaphylaxis and choking training, road safety and Safe in Every Home education covering personal safety and healthy boundaries. Automated tracking technology monitors each certification and alerts both Gracie and the nanny when renewals are due, keeping every requirement current and accounted for.
