We had a wonderful experience with Marie. We left Our 10 month old with her throughout our vacation in Maui. It was hard at first because we have never left him with anyone other than family, but Marie was great with him. She was very responsive when I would text her when she was with my son and would send me frequent updates which I really appreciated. She also watched our 9 year old son and he was excited for her to come back the next day. We plan on coming back next summer and I would definitely request Marie again. read more

We recently used Nanny Connection during our stay in Hawaii. We had the pleasure of working with Karissa ("Kiki"), who helped us watch our 17 month daughter for four days. Karissa did an amazing job bonding with our daughter right away, engaging her with books and toys and spending lots of time with her outdoors playing in sand. Karissa was confident and thoughtful and made us feel comfortable that our daughter was safe and happy. She was flexible around our schedule and helped us prepare food and clean and by the second day our daughter was saying Kiki and super excited to see her. Great communication via text and phone and lots of great pictures. Thank you Kiki! We hope to see you again next year. One note on nanny connection - they are very nice and responsive but the website booking could use some work. It was difficult to get the contact information for our nanny booking or find an easy way to communicate without calling/emailing nanny connection for the contact info. read more

We recently just stayed at the Ritz Carlton in Maui for 7 days and didn't know whether to take our little 21 month old girl with us as we didn't have a nanny and really were not sure whether we liked the idea of her staying with a stranger. So we booked "Kim" through the Nanny Connection and interviewed her on the first day.. after 5mins with Kim our fears were put to rest.. Kim was amazing. Extremely punctual, caring and fun, our little girl was extremely relaxed with Kim and had so much fun. Kim was extremely flexible and moved things around to suit our hours (we were on holidays :-) We got back yesterday and our daughter is still saying "kim, park" ! Kim took her swimming and to the park every day and read with her and put her down to sleep every single night. Thanks Nanny Connection and Kim for an amazing service and for making our holiday. read more

We just had Paulette come and stay with our little one 3 nights in a row, so Mom and Dad could enjoy dinners out while on Vacay. She was so very sweet, and professional, and I felt comfortable leaving knowing that he was in good hands! Highly recommend Paulette!! The nanny connection was great in helping us coordinate and connecting us with Paulette. We will absolutely use the NC for our next trip!! read more

Our daughter's friends Mom reccomended The Nanny Connection for our stay in Maui. I'm SO HAPPY with the service! It costs less than a babysitter and the quality of the childcare is top notch. We were blessed with a nanny named MARIE at Nanny Connection. She had 20+ yrs of experience in childcare. Our kids have ADHD so we were shocked that Marie had lulled our 5 and 6yo kids to sleep. It was such a nice surprise to come home for a date and not hsve to put the kids to bed! Marie took them to see animals, got in the pool with the kids on swim days, and helped our children get the most out of our vacation. Marie brought toys with her every day and she was helpful in making the kids food. I can't thank Marie enough for the relaxation and peace of mind she was able to provide us. Thank you! From what I understand, Marie is a very popular nanny, so please book her in advance! Mahalo! read more

Wonderful experience with TNC. Alexis came for a meet and greet and brought toys to share with our 18mo old. It was apparent that she was a great caregiver and knew what she was doing. She made us feel at ease right away, and being a slightly neurotic and overprotective mom, I felt safe leaving our son in her care so babydaddy and I can have a couple hours to enjoy dinner without rushing through our meal. I would highly recommend this service to any parents out there who would like a little help with their little ones while vacationing in Maui. read more

As most mothers would feel, I was a little hesitant at the idea of leaving my toddler with a stranger. But it was an absolutely wonderful experience. We were assigned Kathy, and upon reading her background and biography, I already felt better. We scheduled a video meeting the day before she was hired to watch my daughter, just so my daughter can see her and of course I wanted more peace of mind, too. She was absolutely wonderful with my almost 3-year-old. My daughter still won't stop talking about how much fun she had with Kathy. She loved that she brought blocks and played with her. During Kathy's time with my daughter, she was in charge of putting her down for a nap. Long story short, there were zero issues and my mama heart was so pleased to know my daughter was in the best of hands with Kathy! I highly recommend this service. We are coming back in the summer of 2023 and will absolutely be requesting Kathy again! Thank you so so much! read more

Marie watched our 5 month old twice while we were staying at the Sheraton Maui. She was extremely friendly, down to earth and obviously had lots of experience with kids. It was so great to relax (isn't that what vacations are for!?) and know our babe was in good hands. I'll call her every time we go back for sure! read more

As a first time mom, I am very anxious when we meet new sitters but I wanted to spend some time alone with my husband. I decided to try The Nanny Connection who I learned about from a friend. It was easy to get services set up. They set us up with Kimana for both of our night outs. Our daughter absolutely loved her time with Kimana who was warm and engaging with her. She brought a bag of things to do with her and took her to the beach. We will definitely be using The Nanny Connection the next time we are in the island. read more

I never "yelp", but I wanted to follow up with my gratitude for such a fabulous Nanny Connection experience....Lynn was incredible, my son absolutely adored her (and me too)! She was a true gift during our vacation, one that he and I both needed! I do hope we can see her again when we visit Maui in 2018. Please let her know once again how much we enjoyed meeting her. Also, thank you for taking to our needs so quickly and making it so easy for us to have Terry at the last minute. Although she wasn't our amazing Lynn, I truly felt at ease leaving my little guy behind in stable hands. Your service rocks...seriously- 5 stars! Thank you, thank you! read more

We went to Maui with our 14 month old boy. We had never left him alone with a new sitter and were very hesitant! The first day we got there we had our nanny (Ericka) come over for 2 hrs to meet us and hang out with the baby. He immediately took to her! We left them alone for 45 min while we walked around the property. When we came back they were both smiling and playing! The next 3 days we had her come for 5-6 hrs and my son had a great time! She brought lots of toys and books. She took him for walks, made lunch/snacks, put him down for naps... and he let her! I was so nervous since he is so clingy to me. But Ericka is a toddler whisperer! She sent updates and pics every couple of hrs. It was wonderful. She is wonderful! I highly recommend this service to any of you in need of some babysitting while on the island. read more

My husband and I recently went to Maui and were nervous to ask for help with our daughter. However the entire process was great with the Nanny Connection. Luna, our sitter, connected with us before the trip via text and Skype where we chatted before-hand on video. Luna was always on-time. She went above and beyond to make our experience fantastic. Luna sent me photos throughout the day, and updates on naps. She was intuitive with Naomi's needs, paying close attention to if she was hungry, tired, hot etc. We even booked her for more hours day-of because we were enjoying ourselves so much and not worrying. There is no price on a restful and enjoyable vacation for parents. Highly recommend Luna for your kids! read more

I was referred to the Nanny Connection via the Four Seasons in Maui and cannot say enough positive things! We were on the island for my sister-in-law's wedding and needed some help with our almost 3 year old son. The process to book was incredibly easy. I connected easily with both our sitters in advance of our arrival. Paulette watched our son three times in the evening and was amazing! We were nervous about how he would react to an unfamiliar face in an unfamiliar place and as soon as he saw her smile and her bag full of goodies including his favorite- cars- he couldn't get rid of us soon enough! Paulette was so friendly, kind and communicated with us throughout the evening. My son kept asking when she was coming back. Lynn watched our son during the day and into the evening of the actual wedding. She was so sweet and such a trooper as there were many moving logistics. She always had her eye on him and provided us comfort during such a busy day. I really cannot recommend the Nanny Connection enough- especially Paulette and Lynn. We were sad to leave them- hoping we can see them the next time we are in Maui. THANK YOU! read more

We used the nanny connection on our family trip to Kihei. Our nannys name was Kimana and she was amazing. We have three kids (2 very active boys and a baby girl). She watched them for 4 hours in the morning while we went surfing. She took the kids to the condos pool, gave them a swimming lesson (she's a swim instructor as well) and brought them home for lunch Kimana was punctual, knowledgable and gave us some great advice for places to visit in our vacation. I would highly recommend the Nanny Connection and suggest you ask for Kimana! We will when we return!! read more

I visited Maui with my husband, 2 and 4 year old boys and other extended family in Sept 2015. We were there for a week and knowing we'd want to do some adult activities we checked out nanny connection per our hotel's recommendation. We were definitely hesitant but they came recommended and we were given thorough profiles of the sitters before arriving to Maui. Additionally, we were reassured knowing most had some previous experience in early childhood work. We were assigned to Ashley who was phenomenal. She came in with a bag of "tricks" and immediately got my boys comfortable by engaging them in clever activities. Our kids had a blast with her and she set us at ease. We were amazed and it made us rethink our own current babysitting situation back home. Bottom line - I highly recommend them and would suggest you request Ashley!! read more

So happy with our experience with the folks at the Nanny Connection and our nanny, Kimana. Both were extremely flexible and helpful (even when I made a scheduling mistake that needed fixing). Even more important, the wonderful care Kimana gave our daughter was better than we could have imagined. Fun adventures, special treats, genuine kindness - Kimana is wonderful. Highly recommend! read more

We are lucky to have grandmas who regularly watch our two young children, so we haven't ever really needed a babysitter. But on our recent trip to Maui, my husband and I knew we'd want a few hours away to enjoy some adult time. The Nanny Connection made it easy to book online in advance, and we had a confirmed sitter within minutes of submitting our request. Our kids were a bit nervous to be left with a new person, but Cameron-Rose arrived with a bag of amazing games and toys, and my kids warmed to her quickly. Even more importantly, my husband and I were impressed by her warmth with our kids and we quickly felt at ease too. Cameron clearly knows what she's doing and kids truly love her. Our only regret is not booking more time with her -- our kids keep asking when she's coming back! Highly recommend this service and Cameron-Rose in particular. We will be so glad to see her again when we return to Maui. read more

This is the second time I have used the Nanny Connection on our trip to Maui. The nanny we got was Aimee, we had her for a full week, she was excellent! She was so intuitive and super hands on and she really made our trip what it was. We could not have done this trip without her!! Aimee was such an added bonus! I would definitely recommend and use the Nanny Connection the next time we are there!! read more

Over the course of 15 years I have worked for three different nanny agencies and had several jobs on my own. I was teaching school at a private school so obviously needed a second income. I wasn't impressed with two of the agencies and was hesitant to try a third. I eventually did with The Nanny Connection and stayed for years. The office girls are efficient and professional and take their job seriously. On the rare occasion a complaint came in, all nannies were contacted and would get a briefing about said incident, not as a scolding, rather a lets regroup and make sure we are all at the top of our game. Before being hired I needed to have my CPR/ First Aid certification up to date, background checks were checked. Other places gave us a 30 day grace period, which is not helpful if a situation occurs during that 30 days. We all were shown examples and given many ideas as to what to bring in our nanny bags. The offic girls didn't just offer their favorite nannies the jobs, nannies were placed with families his needs were best matched with particular nannies. In 4 years I was aware of a situation in which the owner immediately took action and the situation was resolved and will not happen again. I was very impressed. Although I'm taking a small break from working as a nanny, I still recommend them to all of the guest at the hotel who need childcare. I loved working for the Nanny Connection and am proud to have worked there and will definitely go back. read more

We used the Nanny Connection for our recent trip to Maui! I have nothing but wonderful things to say about their service. We used the service twice during our stay. Arranging the dates, times and locations through their website was a snap! We promptly received confirmation and detailed information about the nanny who would be with our kids. Lydia, our nanny, arrived promptly each time. She came with a bag full of activities, age appropriate for both kids. She was so friendly, energetic, and we immediately felt at ease with her. It made our evenings out so much more relaxing knowing that our kids where in great hands. I would not hesitate to use their services again! THANK YOU Nanny Connection! read more

Wonderful Service, Wonderful Nanny! My husband and I recently went to Maui for his work. When we needed to find a sitter for our 4 month-old so we could attend a business function, we had a lot of concerns. We were matched with a wonderful nanny who immediately made us feel comfortable that our baby was in good hands. She texted us updates and even did some baby massage! When we returned to our room, our baby was happy, smiling, and having fun. My only regret is that we can't take our nanny with back to the mainland. read more

I also was very hesitant about leaving my 2 year old daughter with a stranger when we were on vacation a in Maui a few weeks ago! However Nanny connection set us up with Kali the first day (during the day) and she was amazing! She brought crafts and toys, my daughter connected with her right away. A few days later we went out at night, and this time Nanny connection set us up with Marie, who was also amazing. Marie was warm, thorough and fun, she took my daughter to the pool and they had a blast! I will use Nanny connection anytime I am back in Maui and highly recommend this service to anyone (especially nervous parents). read more

Jina Kim was amazing with our 4 years old! The booking process was fast and simple, the prices are reasonable and the staff are simply GREAT! We had 3 hours of Jina's time with our daughter and she had stories and toys brought with her. Our daughter was very taken care of, entertained, changed to her pj's and tucked in in bed! Perfect and flawless! read more

we stayed in Ka'anapli, Maui for 1 week and used this service 3 times. We had the pleasure of having Nanny Allison watch our children (15-month-old and 4.5-year-old). She also watched my aunt's children (2-year-old & 8-year-old) a couple times. Upon meeting Nanny Allison, I felt immediately confident and secure with leaving my children in her care. She asked great questions and brought many toys and books - all age-appropriate. Each time I returned, I found my children clean, changed, well-fed and asleep! 2 nights I returned at 10pm and 1 morning I had her watch them from 9am-1pm. I will definitely seek Nanny Allison out when I return and recommend her and the Nanny Connection. I did find myself scrambling to make sure I had enough cash on hand when I returned each time. Cash just isn't something I carry a lot of, so it would've been nice if they accepted check or charged the credit card they kept on file when booking. all-in-all, a little inconvenience, but not a big deal. read more

We had a great experience with Shaye. She was thoughtful and extra responsible. The kids had a great time with her and she had the best "nanny bag" of all sorts of games and crafts. She even tailored crafts on day 2 based on what the kids said on day 1. Couldn't have been happier. read more

My husband and I had planned a babymoon/romantic get away to Kaanapali. 4 days before we left, we found out we were going to have to take our 2 year 2 month old. Someone at the resort suggested the Nanny Connection, but I was hesitant to have a stranger care for my daughter alone. They were very informative on their background checks on each nanny, and assured me that we would have the same nanny for each day we requested someone. All I had to do was notify them of the times/days I needed. I contacted them on Monday evening, by Tuesday afternoon I had a name and general information about the nanny I would be using. ROBERTA is a mother of 4, and has worked at a local resort kids club for many years. I already felt better about my decision to use this company. Roberta showed up on time, and I could tell she was caring and responsible. My daughter really took to her quickly, and that made me feel much better. I had her come an hour before we needed to leave, just to allow my daughter time to get comfortable with her, and my husband and I as well. We agreed Roberta could take Lillian to the pool by signing a release form from the company. Roberta also brought age appropriate toys for our daughter, and my daughter loved that! I asked her to send me updates throughout the day, so periodically she'd send me pictures of her and Lillian exploring the gardens, birds, fish, ect. It was nice to know they were having a good day. Overall, we used Roberta 11 am- 9 pm on one day to go to lunch, the spa, and dinner. And then a second day from 3-8 to go on a sunset cruise and to dinner. It was perfect to have that time alone, knowing she was well cared for. Thank you Roberta - you were awesome! The Asquinos read more

ASK FOR LIAH!!! I cannot even begin to explain all of that ways in which she is amazing. I booked for a nanny to come 12-8 while we were in Maui so my husband and I could have some adult time during our vacation. I have a 3-month old and a 17-month old, so needless to say it's a handful. I assumed that the nanny would be a home base and I could take one or the other to the pool or beach. Not Liah! She was so confident and competent (has 4 grown children of her own), that we were able to leave Liah with both of them, and she would take BOTH of them swimming, down to the beach, for a walk around the property, etc.. I wouldn't even do that in my own! She kept me updated by text as requested, and I came home to bathed, happy, sleeping babies! She was flexible if we came home a bit later too. My mind was completely at ease and I could really relax (first time since having babies). I tried to convince her to move home with is and be our full time nanny, but no luck :(. We will come back to Maui soon just so we can have a REAL vacation again soon. Love her!!! She also brought age specific toys for my children, her own double stroller, and water toys/wings that she taught my daughter to swim with. Far exceeded any of my expectations read more

FABULOUS SERVICE! Thank you for making our stay in Maui even that more special. Jim and I loved having Diane watch our little seven month old son for a few nights while we were on the island. She is FANTASTIC, and we were very happy and felt Max was in great hands with her. I HIGHLY recommend this nanny service to anyone looking for a nanny while in Maui! read more

My husband and I planned a vacation to Maui last week with our 3 1/2 month old daughter. It took a lot of convincing on my part to have my husband agree to travel across the Pacific Ocean with our new baby as he wasn't quite sure what we would do in Maui with a baby. He called the hotel we were staying it to see if they had any nanny services through their hotel and they referred us to The Nanny Connection. I was a little bit skeptical about having a "stranger" look after our baby for a few hours each day (especially since she has only been taken care of myself, my husband, and her grandma since she was born), but agreed to give them a shot to make my husband happy. We talked to Julia several times asking her about how it works, about the nannies, the experience with infant care, etc. She answered all of our questions effortlessly and genuinely and really made me feel at ease about the whole process. She set us up with Marie Gross for 6 hours and was able to arrange a phone interview with her before we committed to using her. Talking to Marie over the phone really made me feel a lot better about who we were entrusting our daughter with. We had Marie Gross care for our baby for 6 hours one day while we went snorkeling. As soon as she arrived to our hotel room, I gave her a fifteen minute rundown of my daughter's schedule/temperament/personality. She asked appropriate questions and wrote everything down. I left feeling very comfortable that my daughter was in good hands. She sent us text message updates throughout the 6 hours which was great. I called her any chance I could get (in between snorkeling) to check in with her as well. When we got back to the hotel, I saw my daughter happily playing and laughing with Marie. It was such a great sight! We loved working with The Nanny Connection so much that my husband and I decided to use them again on our trip, this time for 3 hours. We were hoping to get Marie again, but she wasn't available for the time we wanted. So TNC arranged us with Sherry Curry. Sherry had a warmness about her that I noticed from the beginning but she didn't ask too many questions about my daughter's schedule/temperament as Marie did. But I knew that my daughter would be ok. Overall, without TNC, I think our trip would have been VERY different. It was nice for my husband and I to be able to get out and do the things that we loved pre-baby. The price is VERY reasonable, $18/hour, with a 3 hour minimum. And she comes straight to your room! I HIGHLY recommend this service to anyone travelling with their baby/kids! read more

The owner, Nicki (sp??) was very responsive and professional. She took note of my concerns for my 3-year-old and 5.5 month old and made sure to pass it on to the nannies we hired. (3 year old started having some nightmares while on vacation, and 5.5 month old started having issues being put to bed!). We used The Nanny Connection twice while on vacation on Maui. The first time was on New Year's Day....the price was steep, seeing that it was a holiday. $30+/hr for NYD with a $40 booking fee. Yikes. That nanny was Suzy (Susie?). She was very pleasant and my son took to her right away. I felt very comfortable with her. We then used another nanny a few days later...Charmagne. She was also pleasant and I felt comfortable leaving the kids with her. Not sure how much either nanny had to really do for the kids, as it was bedtime soon after both arrived (and we prepared the food for Suzy, as well as had them them in their jammies, and had started the food process with Charmagne), but they seemed experienced and trustworthy, and again, we felt comfortable with both. The only complaint I'd say was that neither of the nannies seemed to clean up after the kids. Dirty bottle was left for us, as well as my 3 year old's dirty dishes (at least with Suzy, can't recall if his dirty dishes were left by Charmagne, but I do remember the dirty bottle). Suzy also left a stack of newspapers on the table...Now I know our room wasn't the neatest, but we didn't need any extra mess!! And for $30/hr, I'd hope they could clean the kids' plates/bottles! Overall, a good experience and I would definitely use them again...hoping our Maui trip may be the beginning of a regular thing!!! read more

We had an amazing experience with Nanny Connection. I'm generally wary of nanny agencies, I like to find my sitter from personal recommendations or read reviews of them personally before booking. That wasn't an option for this trip so we decided to roll the dice and we are sure glad we did. Marie watched our rambunctious 2.5 year old son for three evenings and one half day. He LOVED her and she made us feel comfortable with updates and photos. She also brought along some toys to keep him interested and took him to check out the kid's center and feed the fish. He would be full of stories about what he did with Marie while we were out. We've been back from our trip for 2 weeks and he still asks about where is Marie and whether she's going to come back to his house. Thank you so much Marie and Nanny Connection! read more

Nanny Connection was great! We had never hired a baby sitter before but found that we needed a little adult date night. We were very pleased that we found Nanny Connection, as they were great. We actually requested a nanny on short notice and in the morning I received a call letting me know that we were all set. She told us that Allison would be arriving and she did right on time. Allison was great! Our son took right to her and he seemed to be at ease. More importantly, we (my wife) was as ease. They were so great that we have already talked to them about another visit next week. Allison was awesome and we will use NC each time we are on Maui. read more

We have used The Nanny Connection for babysitting services twice over the last few years, and I couldn't be happier with their service. The sitters were always on time, professional, sweet, and really, really fantastic with my girls. They both brought age appropriate things do to (which is so great when you are on vacation with limited toys!), and really played with my kids. My kids counted down the hours from one visit to the next (making me wonder why I didn't book more babysitting time!). Many of my friends have used this service with great results too. We will definitely use The Nanny Connection whenever we are in Maui - two months later my kids are still talking about our sitter and wishing she could fly here to see them! read more

I love this service and Shyela, the nanny they sent. We were on Maui for only one full day. We called the day prior to see if a nanny would be available, and was confirmed within 25 minutes or so. The person taking the call didn't seem too happy because I called 10 minutes before closing, but she booked us anyways so oh well. It was 15 an hour for the first child, 2$ for each additional child. You must call before 5 pm. Shyela took care of my 9 month old and my 8 year old. She was perfect to both. Brought arts and crafts with her, which kept my oldest occupied for a while. She also took them to the pool. Kept us up to date with texts and pictures. She wasn't lazy or boring. I was honestly surprised it went sooooo well. I would use again and recommend to any parents needing a time out. To Shyela, if you're ever in Oahu and need a place to stay, you have our number... Good luck with school. read more

We used the Nanny Connection last night to take care of our two and a half year old granddaughter for one night while the "grown ups" went out for a family celebration. They were terrific. Shaye, the gal they sent, was wonderful. Punctual, prepared and sweet, kind and capable. I can not say enough good things about her. Our little granddaughter had a fun evening while we were out and had a good night's sleep to boot. Highly recommend the Nanny Connection for reliable, quality care. read more

We used the Nanny Connection in August last year and they were great. We came back in January for 10 days and we used them again. We got Karissa and honestly, 10 stars doesn't do her justice. She watched our 2 year old and was beyond amazing with her. She is so patient and loving and kind, any family who gets her is so lucky. We HIGHLY recommend the Nanny Connection and if you can ask for Karissa, definitely do. In August we had two other nannies who were also fabulous, but Karissa is NEXT LEVEL! Thank you so much. read more

I am not a person who often posts comments because great praise is not easy to achieve and in this case with Nanny Connection's customer service and the excellent, calming care of Diane Weiner 5 stars has been earned, and not just from one instance but from 3 years of our use. We first used Nanny Connection and were sent Diane when our daughter was only 6 months old on our vacation to Maui. I was nervous. But out of the previous nannies we used, Diane was very down to earth, a genuinely happy person, not overbearing and not one to get stressed- she has years of experience and is a mom of 3 so easy to see why. She put us at ease and was a real relief to myself who was feeling like an overly neurotic new mom. She got our baby to sleep at 6 months and it was wonderful to return from a date night out to a quiet room- which she has consistently done now for 3 years with our daughter. Our daughter at a very early age was extremely active, is now very social and likes to learn, and Diane is the perfect fit as she was the only nanny who ever showed up with a large bag of age appropriate toys and coloring suppiles, and was ready to take her on a walk outside, play on the lawn, go play in the pool immediately, and help her play with other children on the resort. She doesn't overly use TV, she is an outdoorsy, fresh air person and also loves to do art. We use Diane for 8 hour stretches now and this is perfect for us to optimize the daily Nanny Connection fee and get much needed adult time, like going on whale watching or snorkel tours not appropriate for our 3 year old or even just a long early dinner and walk on the beach or trip into Lahaina away from the resort area. Diane also can be firm and is very honest- she talks openly about what you need as parent, she has insured our daughter is fed what we requested, she even walks her to take her out to eat at fun places and puts her in bed on time, even on vacation- 7:30 pm. She also responds quickly to our texts should we chose to check in or even extend our time if she is available. But am glad she doesn't overly reach out to us via text all day because she is honestly and refreshingly not a phone savvy person- who is on her phone all the time, i know she is busy with my busy daughter. I am however glad that the Nanny Connection service uses text as part of their booking communications- because it is extremely quick and easy way to inquire with them about changing a time or day. Nikki and the other women at Nanny Connection have always replied very quickly and have never made an error in a booking for us. We thank them all for making things so wonderful and are a big reason why we keep returning to the same place on Maui to spend our precious vacation time. read more

We were in Maui Sept 20-Oct 5th with our 10 month old son. Based on the reviews, we decided to use The Nanny Connection. We had booked a 6 hour snorkelling trip & would need a nanny for at least 7 hours. We decided to book a nanny for 3 hours in the evening a few nights before just to make sure it worked out for our son. The people arranging the nanny responded quickly and made sure we would have the same nanny for both bookings. Susan Flaherty was the nanny assigned and from the instant she walked in, we knew we had made a good choice. Our son was relaxed with her and we were completely confident that he was in good hands. We enjoyed a nice evening out and were relaxed about our longer day away. Susan was so good with our son that we ended up asking her to come a total of five times on this trip (twice for 7 hour days). We would mention her name and our son would light up. She kept him on schedule and had him napping better than I did! Susan was also wonderful with us. She gave us great "local" tips which made our trip even better. I can't recommend both The Nanny Connection or Susan enough. I tell everyone planning a trip with young children to Maui to consider using them. It allows you to have a great family vacation while also having important couple time. We look forward to returning and seeing Susan again. The only hard part was saying good-bye at the end of our trip. read more

We used the Nanny Connection twice, most recently in February 2014 during our stay in Maui. I can't say enough good things about this agency. In our last trip, they quickly identified two great candidates for us that we were allowed to screen over the phone prior to our arrival. We chose nanny Mia Murray, who was amazing! She came every day of our stay to play with our two daughters ages 3 1/2 and 6. She was incredibly professional, dependable and punctual (she would arrive 10 minutes earlier than the agreed time). She brought her "magical" nanny bag full of games, toys and arts and crafts for my girls to do. My girls had a great time walking around the resort with her to explore nature and she even took them to the swimming pool on one of the days. The best proof of how great of a nanny she is: my girls kept asking for her every day, and they started crying after she left the last day! They kept saying they wanted to bring her to Seattle with us, and almost a month after our trip they are still talking about her. Thanks to Mia, my husband and I were able to do some fun adult things together knowing that the girls were safe in great hands and having a great time as well. Great nanny, great agency. We can't wait to come back and use their services again! read more

On our recent trip to Maui with our 7 month old we called Nanny Connection (rather last minute) to get a great sitter so we could go fishing. We called on a Sunday and Andrea answered the phone and was so gracious, searching for a sitter for us last minute. We wanted someone who could come that night so our baby could get used to her and have the same sitter come back at 4am! Andrea called me back and said that she wasn't able to find someone but she (being a previous sitter for the agency) would be able to do it for us. She gave me all of her great qualifications and we had her come. Andrea showed up that night with her own bag of goodies (books, toys, etc) and our daughter was anxious to play with her. Andrea followed all the directions we gave her and was back the next morning a few minutes before 4am. Being a mom who isn't used to leaving her baby with someone she just met, I felt completely comfortable with Andrea who proceeded to send me texts and pictures of how they were doing throughout the day. I highly recommend the Nanny Connection and Andrea Poling. We will definitely be using them when we return to Maui! Thank you Nanny Connection for making this crazy mom feel totally at ease. read more

We arranged for a nanny through Nanny Connection for a week in Wailea based on a suggestion from our hotel. We have had full time nannies as well as temporary help while traveling in the past for our three kids (age 9 + 5 y/o twins) and our standards are pretty high - we look for someone fun, caring, patient, flexible and capable of managing three kids for extended periods. Nanny Connection came through with one of the best nannies we have ever had - we hired her for 7 days, 8 hours a day, so we have a pretty good base of experience. Zoe was energetic (our kids usually wear a nanny down pretty fast), capably managed all three kids (or any combination thereof) and the kids really loved her. She was firm when necessary and we felt totally comfortable with her taking the kids to the pool, beach, where ever. Some friends joined us with their 9 y/o the last two days and they loved Zoe, too! We have been going to Maui with our kids for many years and this was easily our most enjoyable trip yet thanks to Zoe. We highly recommend Nanny Connection (easy to work with via phone or email) and Zoe! read more

I attended conference on Maui recently. After I had planned the trip my husband was unable to come with us so I needed someone to watch my 9 and 7 year old children in the morning. I was nervous about hiring someone I didn't know but read many great reviews about the Nanny Connection and a friend had used them as well. It was a very professional organization and as soon as I met our sitter, Lydia, I was at ease. Lydia was wonderful. The kids had a great time with her and she was very helpful with various tips on places to go snorkel, good kid beaches, even helped with recommendation on where to go get my daughter's glasses fixed. She played with the kids at the pool and beach, made sure they did some of their homework, got them up, fed, and going in the morning, and even helped get them packed up on our last morning at the place we were staying. It was such a relief to have a wonderful sitter to leave the kids with while I attended my conference. I would definitely recommend the Nanny Connection to other friends if they needed a sitter. And my praises in particular to Lydia!! read more

I worked with Nanny Connection on Maui for approximately three years, providing childcare for both local and visiting families. During that time, I consistently received positive feedback and maintained strong relationships with clients and their children. Unfortunately, my time with the company ended unexpectedly after a single negative review from a client whose children I cared for only once, for a few hours. The review contained inaccurate statements, but rather than reaching out to clarify the situation or hear my account, management immediately assumed fault on my part and terminated my position. Since then, I've learned that similar situations have occurred with other providers, where client feedback was taken at face value without adequate communication or investigation. This pattern has negatively impacted a number of qualified and dedicated care providers in our small community. While Nanny Connection offers valuable services for families, I hope they will adopt more transparent and balanced practices that support both clients and their team members moving forward. read more

We absolutely loved working with the Nanny Connection. First of all this agency is by far the best. The management was super responsive, down to earth, flexible, etc. Their prices are competitive. They made sure we had just one nanny for the whole trip, whereas the other agency on Maui wanted us to give our credit card up front, without guaranteeing one consecutive nanny. We got so lucky to get Marie. She was a fantastic nanny for the 10 days that we were there. She watched our 12 month old and 2.5 year old. She brought great toys, books, crafts, and was such a joy to be around for us, and for the kids. She took the kids on nature walks, taught them about local plants and animals, played with them in the pools, took them to neighboring hotels to look at the birds and aquariums...I can't say enough good things about her. She got to our hotel room a few hours after we checked in and the kids immediately loved her. We saw her every day and felt at ease leaving our kids with her while we went out for lunches and dinners. Request Marie!!! She's amazing. read more

We were initially apprehensive about leaving our child with someone new, especially as it was our first time going on vacation without family to tend to him. Entrusting our little one to a new person was tough for us. However, Sue quickly put our fears to rest. From the moment we met her, she was full of warmth and professionalism that immediately made us feel at ease. Throughout our vacation, Sue went above and beyond to keep us updated with regular texts, ensuring we knew how everything was going at the resort. She quickly learned what our child liked and made special plans and activities tailored to his interests. Her constant communication and personalized care were incredibly reassuring, allowing us to fully relax and enjoy our time away. We returned to a happy, well-cared-for child, and we couldn't be more grateful for the exceptional care Sue provided. We highly recommend Sue to any parents looking for a trustworthy and dedicated nanny. read more

We've been to Maui several times, but this is the first time visiting with a baby. We still wanted to go out on a couple fancy date nights, as well as take a snorkeling trip, so not ideal activities for our 7 month old daughter to tag along. We're so happy we found The Nanny Connection! The Nanny Connection set us up with Sharon Chapman for all three of the days we needed a nanny. We'd never left our daughter with a stranger before, so we were initially a little nervous about it, but when Sharon showed up our daughter immediately took a liking to her and we didn't worry about a thing! On the last day our daughter was happy and giggling with Sharon before we even had a chance to get out the door! I don't think she missed us a bit, she was so happy to play with Sharon and her goody bag of toys! We wouldn't hesitate to use The Nanny Connection for future visits, and would love for Sharon to take care of our daughter again. read more

My husband and I recently came back from Maui with our 4 year old son to celebrate our 10 year anniversary. We wanted to celebrate a night out alone, so after a lot of research and reviews, and contacts to the Nanny Connection, we used them to hire a nanny. Amazing staff and service! Always a quick response back to all my emails, texts, and/or calls. I was still a bit uneasy up until the moment our nanny, Charlie Marie showed up. (Our lil guy can be shy and a bit intimidated to go with others.) Charlie was incredible and our little guy had so much fun! She was right on time with a nanny pack and ready to take our son out for some fun activities. Charlie took him to dinner and even texted us some pictures what they did and saw on their nature walk. I would definitely hire Charlie again and use the Nanny Connection next time we head back to Maui! Wonderful and reassuring service! Mahalo! 4/22/16 read more

We could not have been more pleased with our experience. We have three girls (ages 6, 3, and 11 months). Marie was simply wonderful. She helped us at the beach, the pool, and we were able to have date nights too! She really connected with all three girls and they all loved her. And sometimes it's the little things - I would mention we were getting ready to go to the pool and she would start putting sunscreen on the girls, gathering supplies etc. It was so nice to have another pair of hands! We also had Marie watch the girls so we could go out at night and surfing one day. The kids had a great time going on nature walks, making crafts, and playing with the toys she brought. If you are still on the fence about getting a nanny for your vacation - do it! I didn't know vacations with three young kids could be this relaxing and fun! read more

We've used the Nanny Connection in Maui for a total of three times (once in 2011, twice in 2012). The sitters they send are very professional, mature and likeable. Our kids (aged 3 & 5) loved them. Both sitters on the latest trip were teachers during the day and had their own children. They brought along their own crafts & activities to entertain the kids as well. The questions they asked upfront about the kids and the rental made me feel very at ease. Our oldest daughter has a peanut allergy and requires an epi-pen. They were both knowledgeable with allergies and the use of the pen, which was a bonus for us. We were quite comfortable and relaxed when leaving our kids with these people. read more

We brought our two boys to Maui with us for a week and had a wonderful experience with The Nanny Connection. The planning was easy and we got an amazing sitter for our boys. Karissa (Kiki) showed up a few minutes early with lots of toys and activities for our kids. Our boys loved playing with her (they have lots of energy) and we came back from dinner to them sleeping soundly (she also gave them dinner.) Kiki watched our boys 3 times during our vacation and they had a blast every time. We enjoyed some time to ourselves feeling 100% confident that our kids were safe and having fun. We can't recommend Kiki enough! read more

On a recent trip to Maui, Allyson referred nanny Diana to us for a couple of evenings of sitting for our 7 year old twins. She was fantastic! Arrived on time, kept me updated during the evening, took the kids for beach walks and lawn games, and also brought some arts and crafts along with her. I had mentioned to her that we would be leaving rather quickly from an evening event directly to the airport, and she made sure that the kids were ready to go! Diana is really really great and if the need ever arises again, we will for sure call The Nanny Connection. I highly recommend them. Thanks ladies! read more

Took a few days for the office girls to get a nanny organized for my 6 month old, I didn't hear that we actually had a nanny until the day before. BUT.. Once we meet Shyela she was AMAZING. She was on time and so friendly! I was a little hesitant leaving my 6 month old before I meet her but she was so knowledgable and friendly I didn't think twice about leaving him. She sent us updates while we were out and to top it off she had our baby sleeping when we got home!! Will definitively have her come again when are back in Maui! read more

Marie and The Nanny Connection are the best childcare Maui has to offer! We were very nervous about using a nanny because our 3 year old daughter has Type 1 Diabetes. The Nanny Connection put my mind at ease and sent Marie. Marie is the most competent, responsible, FUN, and caring person we met on Maui. We felt more comfortable and at ease with Marie than our sitter at home. We have used Marie on our last 6 trips and look forward to seeing her again in April. I highly recommend both The Nanny Connection and Marie. read more

I found the Nanny Connection on Google and sent in an email request, They were extremely prompt in replying and very flexible in my requests. This is the first time I have left my 7 year old son with a stranger, and our nanny was absolutely fabulous! My son loved her! And I was so comfortable with her, that I booked an extra evening so I could enjoy an evening Luau, knowing that my son was being well looked after. I most definitely recommend The Nanny Connection and will contact them again when I return to Maui. read more

My family and I used the Nanny Connection in Maui for our one year old son and 6 month old nephew and we had such an amazing experience! Kimana was their sitter for 5 days and she went above and beyond to make sure they had a fun time while the adults explored Maui. She brought local, organic produce from the farmer's market for them and even cracked open a fresh coconut for them to try. She took them on long walks, played in the hammock and had fun in the sand. Thanks for taking such great care of our boys Kimana! read more

I can highly recommend Nanny Connection. We used them on our latest vacation to Maui. Initially we were allocated a slightly more mature nanny, who sounded absolutely fantastic, but knowing our daughter and who she relates best to, I requested a younger, active nanny. Nanny Connection in no time fulfilled our needs. We had Bridget and Sarah who were both absolutely fantastic and whom our daughter thoroughly enjoyed. It made it a thoroughly enjoyable holiday for all. Thank you so much Nanny Connection! read more
