Unfortunately, it is not possible: all characters, be they NPCs or PCs, will age and die. Of course, while you can't play as a child the entire time, it is possible that you could play as part of the family in the sense that you stay around the house, help out, and maybe engage in some minor theft here and there.

That's understandable. But if all you want to do is craft and have your character live a quiet life, ping on the higher side shouldn't be much of a problem.

My inner lich is going to rise now. Haha! Wonder if I can be a crafting lich. Lure people to me with various wares then kil lthem.
It might be possible! Of course, being a lich is going to be exceedingly difficult!
Due to the nature of children in CoE it seems unlikely you'll be able to play as anything younger than a 12 year old.
A 12 year old Vampire would be possible and so might be a dhampir child [unfortunately we don't know how they age or if they can be Wards]. The soul of a previous lich could create a new Ward life and become a lich again since they already know the procedure and probably have everything ready in a hidden backup hideout or vault. However, liches still age even if they might have some way of temporarily reversing or halting the aging process by draining the spirit of youth from others. Yet, the ideal target age for the cells in a body to regenerate to is probably in the 20s or 30s and not the teens.
So the only truly immortal child would have to be a vampire not a lich [unless there is fairy dust :-)]. Of course there might be vampire laws against making vampires younger than 15 [see Interview with the Vampire for details] ;-O

I bet if you could create a consumable that made you a "youth for a day" (2.5 hours), people would pay lots of coin for that. Of course, that might be beyond the ability of alchemists to pull off since potions are limited in their scope and scale. A relic, perhaps, or some form of spell/talent?
Mordenkainen's Mischievous Miscreant?
This is actually so something I plan to try once vampires/liches are added. I'll spend the better part of one life figuring out how to become a vampire (assuming it's something you can do voluntarily) and then die, come back as a ward, and rush to get infected within a week or two.
With both supernatural powers and an innocent appearance, I could focus on stealth and just generally be a real nuisance.
