Grace - 25yrs

Hi! My name is Grace Crighton and I am 25 years old. I’ve had the privilege of working with many families, caring for children from 5 months old through to teenagers. I’m the eldest of three, with a seven year age gap between myself and my youngest sibling, which meant I spent many of my teenage years as a second mum to him and his friends, giving me over 9 years of childminding experience. Some of my nannying experience includes caring for a beautiful 10 month old girl on a regular basis for six months, and being an au pair in Miami for a 6 month old boy during my gap year. Since early 2022, I’ve worked with an incredible family with two boys, now 4 and 6. I was lucky enough to travel around the world with them for two months, caring for the boys full time. This included managing their full daily routines from wake up to bedtime, as well as occasional overnight care while their parents were away, navigating sleep deprivation and jet lag included. I now assist with school drop offs and pick ups, bedtimes, and fill our days with baking, adventures, storytelling and plenty of beach time. I’ve also worked in the creche at my local pilates studio, caring for babies as young as 8 weeks and confidently managing up to five children at a time I enjoy going out for walks, spending time at the beach (I’ve recently taken up surfing), reading and baking, and love to share these activities with the children I look after. I have a Victoria WWCC, first aid certificate and a full NSW drivers licence.
