We used this service for our 16 mo old while we were in Kauai & had a wonderful experience all around! Robin watched our little guy twice & she was awesome. She felt like family after just two visits & we had no worries leaving our little guy with her. Maile (the owner) was also very responsive & welcoming while setting up the service. The price was a bit spendy but well worth the money to have a little couple time while on the island. Highly recommended!! read more

Birdie was exceptional both times she watched my 3 kids, ages 8mos, 3yrs & 5yrs! She is a gem and worth every penny! Birdie was able to connect with every kid and their unique personality all while following the schedule. The text and picture updates reassured us that all was well. Thank you for sending out a pro!!! read more

I had wonderful experiences with this baby sitting agency. Birdie was our daughter's baby sitter for 3 occasions and my daughter absolutely loved her. She said good bye to us without crying from the second time because she knew she was going to have fun with Birdie. Birdie knew the hotel premises more than we did, took my energetic 3 year old out to have fun. Also brought toys that my daughter loved - it is so nice that the service was personalized. She sent updates while we were out which she was very nice and assuring for us. When we came home she set up a bed in a way that she won't fall off - We were impressed. She even ate veggies when given by Birdie that we have trouble feeding. I really appreciated the professionalism all around. A year prior we had a great experience with Sydney as well. She was also very professional, and my daughter loved her. Back then by daughter was much younger so she brought a lot of toys and entertainment for her to have fun in the room. It seems that baby sitters hired by this agency has high quality standards. My daughter warmed up to both of them so quickly which doesn't always happen. They seemed very confident in what they do which is reassuring for parents on vacation. Also the owner who arranged the sitters were very helpful in guiding us and very quick at responding. It was very easy for us to make bookings. I would definitely use Kauai Baby Sitting again next time I visit Kauai! read more

Michelle was extremely helpful and easy to communicate with when I decided to look for a sitter for our baby while we went to dinner one night of our vacation. She got back to me right away and assured me she would find the right sitter for us on very short notice (the next night!) Our sitter, Valerie, texted the day before to check in and let us know when she would arrive and then when we met her we both felt so comfortable with her. She was very warm and caring, taking note of how we wanted everything done. She even brought a bag of fun baby toys for him, even though he ended up sleeping most of the time we were gone! I would really recommend calling Michelle if you are looking for a sitter in the area! read more

We needed a night out! So i called the company and was blown away from the beginning. They were so professional as put my worries to ease. When Valerie showed up to our home she was calm and assertive and i felt safe right away. She not only watched my children but put my 10month old to bed! And taught my five year old about the island! I felt like she was family. I would absolutely higher Kauai babysitting again and i would ask for Valerie! Thank you! read more

So thankful to Yelp for finding Maile and Kauai Babysitting! Birdie was our sitter. I have an 8 month old and almost 4 year old. I never met Maile but she set everything up. Birdie showed up and in and instant we felt at ease with her watching our child. I've never left my baby alone with "a stranger" but Birdie had accompanied my husband and 4 yo to the pool so she wasn't completely alone. Meanwhile I was away at a conference. We felt really comfortable with her and she took our baby for walks and handled her on her own. We had Birdie watch our children for 3 days. On the last day we trusted her to watch both of them so we could get some adult dinner time. She made our trip less stressful. I highly recommend Maile, Birdie and their team. She was very professional and showed up with age appropriate toys for both children!! read more

Michelle did a wonderful job pairing us up with Patti. Michelle took the needs of my 3 year old in mind and understood how important it was for us to find the same sitter for our entire trip. We couldn't have been happier with Patti. She came with a rolling suitcase full of toys! And engaged our son so much that he didn't want her to leave and asked about Patti every day. By the end of the trip she felt like family! read more

We had an amazing experience with babysitter Sydney. We contacted the company 5 days prior and they were able to accommodate us very quickly. We have exchange a few txt msgs with Sydney when she was giving us heads up about what are her plan for the children. She came punctually to watch our 3 girls for almost 8 hours and it was wonderful experience for my children. She came prepared. With 4 bags of toys, arts and crafts and games. Our older girls had a lot of fun with her and our baby trusted her from the beginning. She even took them for a walk and it was a scavenger walk! I will recommend Kauai Babysitting to all my friends traveling to Kauai. read more

We used them last night in kappa. My wife was worried but after a week with the kids I would have left them with wolves. They are 7 and 4, Lani showed up with coloring books, puzzles to do with my son. She had educational videos and worked on math. She made it so much fun for the kids. She made pizza for them, got them in their pajamas and did the dishes. The next day the kids wanted to know if we could call and have their new friend come to the beach with them. It was a great night (for all of us) and I would use them again for sure. RWS read more

We brought our 3 1/2 year old on island and scheduled a day for ourselves half way through to get a break. I called Maile and she scheduled Char to come to our hotel to watch our daughter. Char was excellent! She touched bases with us the night before and arrived early. She came with activities and crafts to do. She took our daughter to the pool and entertained her for 5 hours. She text me 1/2 way through just to give me an update and let me know all was well. I didn't worry about anything, not even for a second. When we returned our daughter was happy and tired from a great day. If you're looking for a great sitter on island, this is the place. Mahalo! read more

So, we went on our first trip with our daughter 10.5 hrs away in Kauai. What a great time we had. While there we explored getting a babysitter to allow us a date night. What a mental trip this is for new parents with a 21m old. The Westin recommendation was KBC. We were nervous so waited around a bit after Valerie arrived early in order to allow our baby acclimate and she couldn't have been any nicer and attentive to our child. I highly recommend this service and Valerie specifically, if she's available read more

My family returned home from Kauai last week, where we had the pleasure of working with Sydney from Kauai Babysitting Co. She cared for our 2 1/2 year old son two times during our stay and we were so happy with her. She was prompt, organized, extremely well prepared and most importantly awesome with my son! Sydney arrived with a variety of toys, books and creative craft supplies. I'm pretty sure there was not a dull moment during her time with my son. My son was totally comfortable with her within minutes - my husband and I were also comfortable with her immediately and were able to have a great time while we were exploring the island. Kauai Babysitting Co was super friendly and easy to work with. They called me back immediately after my initial inquiry and followed up promptly via text with details. We will absolutely use their babysitting services, hopefully with Sydney, next time we visit Kauai! read more

I highly recommend Kauai Babysitting Co. The company and the sitters were professional, had many years of experience, super friendly, and reliable. We used several sitters (both in the North and South parts of the island) - they were all great on doing things the way we wanted (eating and napping schedules, getting outside, etc). They brought age appropriate toys, which was a huge plus since we didn't pack a lot for the trip. They had great ideas about how to entertain our baby and 7 year old. All in all, they were awesome! Robyn in Hanalei was our favorite! Our daughter was sad when we had to leave - she even made a little book for Robyn that I mailed when we got home. We will be going back next year and definitely calling them again. read more

Maile and her team provided childcare for my wedding...let me first start by saying that I had originally booked another local agency and was unhappy with the lack of communication from them so someone referred me to KBC. Within minutes of contacting KBC, Maile had not only responded, but had began working on my booking. She asked all the right questions, made her own suggestions to improve the process for guests and most importantly communicated with me! I was thrilled with the booking process. The day of Maile and her team of sitters were prepared with toys, games and activities for the children. They were professional with each parent and most importantly they were welcoming to all the children. I would highly recommend KBC for your sitter needs, you will not be disappointed! :) read more

Best place ever! Annabelle was the best she watched our daughter twice on our trip! Our Daughter Had A blast!:)

We had the best experience with Kauai Babysitting. When we booked the owner called us and asked us very detailed questions about our son to make sure the babysitter knew everything about him. This made me feel so comfortable with the process. Our babysitter was amazing! Birdie was so loving and caring towards our son. She checked in with us when she put him down for his nap and what they did throughout the day. Our son absolutely loved her! Thank you so much! We hope we see Birdie again when we come to Kauai again! read more

We had a great experience with KBC. Our daughter is two and Dailey arrived early for her visits, brought tons of toys that our daughter loved, and was the master of the "furry sticks" (pipe cleaners). She had all sorts of toddler tricks that worked super well, like telling our daughter that she didn't have to go to sleep for nap time, she just needed to rest her body (she fell fast asleep and took a great nap!). We can't recommend KBC or Dailey enough. We got some great time together and our daughter had a wonderful time because of the wonderful service they provide. read more

Kauai Babysitting - Our daughter giving her awesome babysitter a hug goodbye on her last visit of our trip. - Child Care & Day Care Near Me - Kapa'a, Hawaii

We had a great experience with Ashley from Kauai Babysitting Company when we visited Kauai last week. She came over with bags and bags of different toys and activities for my 14 month-old daughter. My daughter, who can be finicky with babysitters, took to Ashley immediately and started playing with her--which as a mother, just put my mind at ease and I was able to go out and enjoy Kauai with my husband. When we got back, Ashley had kept notes on activities they did, what my daughter played with, what she ate, and what time she napped. It was very clear she has a true love for kids (she's a teacher) and was excited to spend the day playing with our daughter. I would highly recommend Ashley and Kauai Babysitting Company to anyone visiting Kauai and needing a babysitter! read more

Maile called me right away when I emailed her to ask about hiring a sitter during our stay. Kauai Babysitting was one of three companies referred to us by the concierge at the St. Regis where we were staying for part of our stay on the island. I told Maile that although we needed someone for 4 or 5 outings and would be staying on both the south and north sides of the island, we would prefer to have the same person. She was able to find someone that could fill all of the slots we needed to fill and she - Rebekah - was amazing. My kids loved her, we loved her. They had so much fun with her and we totally trusted her to take them to the park and swimming. She took great care of them, kept them from getting sunburnt (which with my honky-white kids is NOT easy) and entertained and wore them out. I will definitely use Kauai Babysitting Co. again if we are ever back on the island! read more

Recommended by the Grand Hyatt Concierge desk, I was so glad I used this service. We have used another service on Maui, so I was inclined to go with them, but based on the concierge referral, I called KBC, and I left a msg...which usually isn't a good sign. AND, Maile was really fast to get back to me, and the ENTIRE experience was super efficient, safe and fun for all. I highly recommend Birdie - she sat for us, for my 5 yo daughter, twice. I usually stick around when a vacation (unknown) sitter arrives to see how they connect with my daughter and get a feeling for the sitter. Within 5 minutes of us meeting Birdie, my husband and I were at ease, and my daughter was ready to play! Birdie was so organized, came with a bag of things for a 5yo, and was the MOST relaxed, professional babysitter I've ever met. Thank you, Birdie and Maile (KBC) for helping us enjoy our vacation!!! read more

My husband and I decided LAST MINUTE to get a babysitter for the second to last day of our trip when we realized that we hardly had a chance to relax together with our 1 and 3 year old constantly in tow. We literally called the day before and they had Birdie available. My husband had to talk me off the ledge after we made the arrangements because we were literally leaving our babies with a complete stranger, but once Birdie texted me for details about the kids I felt more at ease. She was sweet, experienced, and definitely confident about her ability to take great care of our kids. She sent hourly updates with pictures to keep my worrying to a minimum. My husband and I ended up snorkeling together for a few hours. It was so romantic and refreshing. I wish we had done it sooner so we could have booked Birdie twice! read more

Michelle was amazing. Very professional and a baby whisperer to my 5 month old. She came with only one hours notice and brought toys for the 7 year olds. She asked all the right questions and I felt super comfortable leaving for a 4 hour boat ride! Would recommend to anyone needing a sitter in Kauai. Can't wait to go back and see her again. read more

I can't say enough wonderful things about this company! The owner, Michelle starts you off with a friendly conversation getting to know your child and their routine so she can match your child with the best sitter. She's so friendly and professional that she instantly got this first time mom comfortable with the idea of leaving your child with a stranger. She communicates ASAP via text and couldn't be more lovely! Our sitter, Monica was just wonderful. She not only brought toys that I had mentioned he loved but asked plenty of questions before we took off so she could best stick with my son's schedule. Then, she sent me photos of them having a blast so I wasn't worried! I came home to find them cuddling on the couch and my anxiety melted away. She felt like a loving family friend watching my son, and I was so grateful. She and my son got along so well that I ended up asking her last minute to watch him the next two nights and she accommodated me right away! I'm so happy I found this company and will always use them when I'm on the island! This mom gives 5 stars and two thumbs up! read more

I emailed Maile about 2 months prior to us traveing out to Kauai about having a sitter for my 2 year old for 2 days. She called me back within the day and arranging a sitter was very easy and for my one child, it was $16/ hour and then $9/ hour just to the agency. I thought it was slightly pricey but I realized that everything on the island is a little bit more expensive, it made sense. The day before we needed the sitter, I hadn't recieved a reminder call or anything so I contacted Maile through text and she responded right away confirming that our sitter would be Holly for both days which was nice (I like consistency). Holly arrived prmptly and 6:20 on the first day which gave me plenty of time to give her the run down. All in all, the experience was great. Holly ran my son all over the place, puts tons of sunscreen on him and he loved her. When we come back to Kauai and need a sitter I will only go through Kauai Babysitting Co! read more

My six year daughter had an amazing time with Annabelle and immediately asked for us to go on another date so she could play. They created an amazing fashionista house (minion themed), read books and just had a blast. read more

What a great experience we had with Kauai Babysitting Company. Maile and her staff took care of everything. Maile was quick with a response to my initial request and it was simple to set up the details. We received a text from our sitter, Sydney, the day she would be arriving including a picture so we could show our two granddaughters who would be coming. The two year old was a little unsure and began to whimper when Sydney arrived, but Sydney took it in stride and within a few brief moments both girls were so engaged with her it was easy for us to head on out. Sydney sent us a few pictures of all the fun they were having in our absence which was great. I would highly recommend this company! read more

Courtney babysat for our three children while we enjoyed a beautiful sunset cruise. We only have positive things to say about the experience. She arrived with games and activities for the children. She took them to the beach. The house was clean when we got home. I highly recommend this service to any parent visiting Kauai. read more

My friend booked a sitter from the company to watch our three kids during our vacation in Kauai so we can have some adults time, the owner was very responsive throughout the arrangement. We had Valerie as our sitter and she showed on time and brought five bags of toys, games, and crafting materials. She took good care of our kids and kept the older kids busy by making crafts and learning about the island. We also had a baby and she even brought baby toys for him. Overall, we were impressed and will definitely recommend. read more

We used this company at the recommendation of a friend and could not have been more pleased. Our sitter Jessie was timely, responsive, responsible, brought entertainment for the kids, and our girls loved her. Our oldest cried when we told her that our sitter couldn't take care of her at home - so if that's not a glowing review I don't know what is! We will definitely be repeat clients. Thanks Michelle and Kauai Babysitting Company! read more

We had a great experience with Andrea! We visited the island for an extended period of time and had Andrea come and babysit for our 5.5 year old, 3 and 1.5 year olds. She was energetic, responsible, warm and so caring towards my kids. They absolutely adored her! She brought crafts, games, and so many fun activities for the kids. Having 4 of her own, she is a total pro! She always helped clean up, leaving the kitchen spotless and toys picked up which was a huge help. I can't say enough good things about her!! We miss her already. read more

We had a very positive experience with Kauai Babysitting Company during our stay in Princeville. It was our first time leaving our toddler with a babysitter outside the family and it was a great experience from beginning to end. The company is run by Maile, who was very responsive, knowledgeable, and accommodating. We made last minute arrangements for the next day and, as agreed, our babysitter Shannon LeClaire Towey arrived. Shannon was great. Her calm and caring demeanor put us at ease. She brought toys with her and even offered to send us pics of our little one playing while we were out (a great idea since we were nervous babysitting rookies). We heartily recommend Maile and Shannon and will definitely call next time in are in Kauai. read more

We were very pleased to have Maggie come to our vacation home to care for our two young daughters while we went on a hike one day during a recent vacation. She was very friendly and the kids had an absolute blast with her! Highly recommend! read more

Maile was very punctual, she organized the dates and times for us to hire a babysitter just in two days.. We were communicating via text messages which I found very helpful and convenient. I was able to change dates/times using text messages only. Ashley Guerrero was our babysitter for 4 days. She was AMAZING.. She was prepared to play with the kids, brought a huge bag full of toys and fun stuff (arts and crafts) to do with my two kids. She also took them to the pool/library/playground/ for a walk. She was also very punctual, being there on time and never a minute late!! My kids (2 and 1/2 .. And 5 yrs) and myself loved her so much. She was also very easy to reach, she would respond to my text messages instantly.. She used to update me about my kids half way through. Honestly it was a pleasure meeting and knowing Ashley, I would definitely hire her again when we visit the island again. read more

I highly recommend KBC! Maile was very professional over the phone when I initially contacted her to inquire and followed up in a hour (or less!) with a text confirming our sitter. The sitter sent us a text the day before, which I appreciated their reaching out to confirm/remind vs having to remember to do it myself on vacation. Lela was our sitter and she arrived on time and had an easy, friendly demeanor. I immediately felt comfortable leaving my 18 mo old daughter with her. She listened closely to my instructions/tips and asked good questions. My daughter didn't even blink when we left. Upon returning, our daughter was napping soundly and Lela gave us a detailed report on how things went. I was grateful she got her outside instead of keeping her in the room the whole time. Maile followed up to check in on how the sit went. I could tell she truly cares about delivering an excellent service, which she and Lela did! It was one of the highlights of our vacation to take a break as parents and enjoy some time away with peace of mind our daughter was in great hands. Thank you Maile and Lela! We will recommend you to anyone who asks and be in touch our next visit! read more

Nanny Sydney was so great! She showed up early with many many bags of goodies for the kids to play with and they had such a blast! They keep asking for us to go on another date night, I wish we had done this earlier in our trip! read more

Kauai Babysitting deserves the great ratings! We were on Kauai for a week and wanted a kid-free night out. I contacted Kauai Babysitting the week before we left and scheduled a day and time. Michelle got back to me promptly, confirmed some details, and had us set up. Our babysitter was Birdie and she was right on time, thorough in asking questions in advance, and had a great and approachable demeanor for the kids (one of whom is rather shy). We were out past bedtime and I wasn't sure Birdie was going to get the kids to sleep, just because our youngest had been fussier at bedtime and needed a bit of help. But sure enough, she texted us that the kids were asleep pretty on schedule. Her little updates through the night helped us feel relaxed about being away. We would absolutely use them again on another visit! read more

Valerie was a wonderful nanny for our17 mo old.. it was our first time here so we wanted to explore and take advantage of the many hikes and sightseeing that were not for for him. And it's always difficult in the beginning to leave your child with a stranger. But she was so warm and comforting from the minute she came in, we instantly felt at ease. I would highly recommend this service to any family coming to visit Kauai. It made our vacation much more balanced and relaxing than if we were not to use this service. Will definitely use them again. Mahalo! read more

This review is for sitter Valerie. We could not have been happier with the wonderful care that Valerie gave to our 2 year old daughter. We were nervous to have her cared for by someone who we didn't know, as we had never done that before. But, Valerie made us instantly at ease -- literally one look at her and myself and my husband both felt completely relieved. She is so experienced with children, it felt like we had known her forever after just a few minutes. She not only took great care of our little gal, brought lots of fun toys for her to play with, gave us great travel tips, and even left a gift for our daughter after the last sit was over. Our daughter really took to her, and was asking for her even weeks after we left Kauai. Valerie is a magical person! We wish she lived in San Francisco! We had a few bumps getting ahold of Michelle at the outset, but I'm so glad we persevered. It was a great experience. read more

We have now been to Kauai twice in the last two years and used this company both times for several occasions. Maile, who runs the company, could not be more helpful. She is always willing to find a sitter in advance or even at short notice and every single sitter has been great. Recently we had Holly, who was fantastic with the children and they were very sad to leave Hawaii and Holly - one of my sons wanted to talk to her on the phone before we went! We needed a short notice sitter for an event while we were there and Robin also came to sit - the children also felt at ease with her instantly and she even washed their dinner dishes! We love this company and will use them again and again on our trips - your children will be in safe and good hands with the sitters! read more

We were lucky enough to have Maile, the owner of the company, as our babysitter this weekend. (And now I'm sad we can't bring her back to the Mainland with us.) I scheduled with her a week in advance for Friday and Saturday nights, and she reassured me that we would have the same sitter for both nights for consistency, which I really appreciated. When she arrived, I loved that she asked me right away about the biggies: -allergies -bedtime routine -comfort items My daughter (2yo) absolutely loved her and they got to playing while I got ready for our luau. When I went to kiss her goodbye and explain that we were about to leave, she was so engrossed in playing bubbles with Maile that she didn't even cry! Unprecedented! (This kid usually wails when I try to close the door to go to the bathroom.) Maile texted me pictures and videos of what they were doing while I was away, which I thought was really sweet. Could not have been a better experience! read more
