  • Dear Sandy Faure,

    I was extremely impressed with the level of service and the quality of the applicant you provided. I also appreciated that you responded to our initial situation, on a Sunday and by the end of the day, you had sourced a solution.

    I would not hesitate to recommend Abracadabra in the future.

    Regards, Lisa.

  • Dear Sandy,

    I just wanted to let you know that I appreciated the chance to work for you, and sorry that I'm unable to continue. I will miss all the families and children and hope you are keeping well. We really do take our health for granted.

    Kindest regards, Pat

  • Dear Sandy,

    I would like to thank you for the work, talks, friendship and laughs over the last 8 years. My last sit was very sad - I almost changed my mind but all things must come to an end. You're a lovely person & I hope that you have a great future. Thanks for being there when I needed it.

    Best wishes to you and your family MARGARET.

About Us.

Abracadabra is Melbourne's longest established agency (1984) with the original owner and management which is Australian owned. We were also a founding member and past Treasurer/Secretary of Australian Association of Nanny Agencies (A.A.N.A) 1994. This association instigated Police checks and First Aid certificates in the industry and which has finally led to the introduction of the Working With Children Card for child carers, which is now a legal requirement in Victoria as in some other states.

ABRACADABRA IN HOME CHILDCARE services is one of Victoria’s inaugural providers of In Home Childcare, receiving Australian Government Funding from the Strong Families and Community Strategy: Choice and Flexibility in Childcare initiative. Abracadabra is a founding member of NICA (2005) and has served as a committee member of National In Home Childcare Association (NICA).

Sandy Faure the owner is an accountant by profession. Sandy has experienced the difficulty of acquiring reliable child services first hand when she needed assistance after the difficult birth with her own child.

This Agency was created, while Sandy herself was a stay at home mum both frustrated with the lack of care services available in her local area and the drive of her business mind to return to the work force saw the birth of Abracadabra. 27 years on and the business has grown well beyond Sandy’s expectations and recently has gained support by the government incorporating the In Home Childcare scheme into her services, as one of the first providers in Victoria.

Sandy has a very personal relationship with many of her clients and carers and is always fondly referred to as the cat lady.
