Safety First

Why Safety Matters?

Leaving your children in someone else’s care can feel daunting. That’s why we go above and beyond to make sure every Gracie Nanny is fully vetted, supported, and prepared to provide the safest environment possible both at home and out in the community. Because nothing matters more than knowing your little one is safe.

At Gracie, safety isn’t something we simply meet - it’s something we continually raise. Families trust us because we don’t settle for minimum requirements; we go further, investing in rigorous vetting, advanced training, and innovative systems that put your child’s wellbeing at the centre of everything we do. Our commitment is not just to care for your children, but to protect, nurture, and champion their safety in ways that set a new benchmark for the entire industry.

Our recruitment process is thorough and uncompromising. Every Gracie Nanny undergoes:

Comprehensive background checks, including Working With Children Checks and Police Checks.
Verification of qualifications in childcare, first aid, CPR, and anaphylaxis management.
In-depth interviews and reference checks to ensure they embody the values we stand for.
Completion of extra safety courses, such as Kidsafe Australia, which we fully fund. These courses equip nannies with specialised training in preventing accidents in the home and community.
 
We don’t believe in shortcuts or tick-box hiring. Every step is designed to protect families and ensure the highest standard of care.

Safety doesn’t stop at hiring. Every Gracie Nanny receives ongoing training, regular check-ins, and continuous access to resources that keep them up to date with the latest safety standards.

We also invest in ongoing research into safety practices and emerging risks. This work is led by our in-house paediatric registered nurse and supported by a team of education experts in child safety. Their insights ensure our families benefit from the most advanced knowledge and care practices available.

We’ve invested heavily in the technology behind our certification and compliance systems. This allows us to stay ahead of the curve, ensuring that every credential is verified, tracked, and kept current. Families can feel confident knowing that their nanny’s qualifications are always up to date and backed by a system designed for excellence.

Partnership with Families

We see safety as a shared journey. Families aren’t left in the dark. We work alongside you to:

Provide guidance on allergy management, home child-proofing, and accident prevention.
Adapt to unique schedules and household needs with flexibility and consistency.
Offer peace of mind with clear Terms & Conditions that outline exactly how safety is upheld, so you feel fully informed and supported.
Ensure ongoing connection with our in-house paediatric nurse for personalised guidance and reassurance.
