Baby Sitting Services

Happy Kids
(808) 667-5437
We’ve used this service and never been disappointed. Every sitter has arrived with a magic bag of tricks including videos, games and crafts. Because they often babysit in hotel rooms where not many other distractions are available, they come prepared. These ladies are typically what Hawaiians refer to affectionately as "Aunties," that is, wise women who love your children even though they aren’t related.

Sitters are CPR trained, bonded, licensed and fingerprinted. Most of the major hotels use this very service when you request a sitter through the concierge. Fees are $10/hr. plus $2/hr. for each additional child. Usually requires a four hour minimum and travel expenses may be additional. All have their own vehicles.

Nanny Connection
Another trustworthy agency for child care on Maui is the Nanny Connection . Read what past customers have written about their experiences with this company and your concerns will be put to rest. I, too, was a bit reluctant the very first time we called on this service when we were staying in a hotel and our boys were younger, but within seconds the kids were enchanted by the warmth and care showered on them from these outstanding caregivers. There really must be an abundance of aloha in the nanny business because bless our stars, we’ve never had a single dud.

Screening for nannies includes background checks, references, fingerprinting and training. They are obliged to have prior child care experience before joining the Nanny Connection and are trained in first aid and CPR by the agency if they do not have the certification coming in. Fees start at $12/hr. with a 3 hour minimum and $1/hr. extra for each sibling. Non-siblings packed into the session are $5/hr. extra. Holidays and after midnight generate extra fees, and cancellation policies are strict and enforced. A credit card is needed to secure a reservation, but nannies accept cash only, so don’t spend all your cash during your festive night on the town. You’ll surely want to tip the lady who made your marvelous night out possible.
