Who is Nanny Crickets?
Mel and Courtney
Together Melissa and Courtney create heartfelt tales that blend joy and introspection. Their shared mission is to inspire others to connect, share, and discover the magic in everyday moments.
Meet Melissa
A lively Nanna to four, mother to three, including Courtney, and hairdresser to many across Central Queensland. With a vibrant spirit and a knack for turning life's chaos into charm, she lives her life in rhyme, often using her busy mind—especially those restless 2 a.m. moments—to craft playful, heartfelt stories. Her writing weaves joy, wit, and meaningful lessons into tales that spark imagination and connection for children and families alike. Whether through a twist of words or a playful rhyme, she aims to leave readers with something to remember— and share.
Meet Courtney
A whirlwind of energy with a creative mind that doesn’t stop. A former teacher, cricketer, and rugby league player, she now channels her passion for sport into coaching across the globe. Her adventures on and off the field inspire her unique approach to life and writing.
Believing that life is not a journey but an adventure, she embraces a "why not" philosophy, infusing playfulness and a search for deeper meaning into every aspect of her world. Whether coaching on foreign shores or crafting stories at home, she thrives on connection, curiosity, and collaboration.
