Suggestions or ideas needed

My 18 month is destroying her crib from constantly jumping in it. The springs are snapping that hold the mattress. Plus she lifts herself up with the rail to grab things around the corner from the shelf which is part of the crib. Yes I think a big girl bed is in her future. I am freaking out because that is my last place that I can put her and be able to step away for a minute. The layout of my house is terrible for a toddler. 3 floors. I am up and down stairs all day. When my girl is out, all I do is chase her. We have gates and blockades but she still manages to get thru and climb the stairs. We share a room still because the other 3 kids are in the 2 bedrooms on the 3rd floor. The only bathroom is on the same floor as our bedroom. She gets into everything and wants to explore everywhere and I just don't know what I am going to do at this point besides go crazy!! Any suggestions would be appreciated! This is my 1st experience with this, my other 3 are stepkids.
