We used Nanny Connection on our 2010 trip when I threw my back out and finally realized we needed help with our 9 month old twins. I was very hesitant to get any help from someone we didn't know, but knew they had been recommended by the Kapalua resort. They sent Allison within an hour to help me on an emergency call. She was wonderful and my kids loved her. She also was so knowledgeable about the island and recommended her chiropractor who helped me tremendously!!! Then my husband broke his collerbone a couple days later and Allison agreed to watch our girls much longer when I had to take my husband in to get x-rays. The next four days we had to have 12 hour a day nanny care and had other nannys who were also great. We are going back this Spring and already booking Allison to take care of our now 2 year old twins. Hoping for an injury free vacation with her help!!! read more

We had a great experience in Maui with the help of The Nanny Connection. Diane watched Abby (4) and Danielle (1) while my family and I went out and had fun. Diane was fantastic and she even brought toys and legos for Abby to play with! Diane is very experienced with kids, toddlers, and young babies. I highly recommend The Nanny Connection and Diane in particular to take care of your kids and have a blast on your vacation! read more

LANAI, HI I don't even know where to begin. We have a 2 year old son who is active, energetic, happy and wonderful. I often wonder about the energy of anyone who watches him because when he's up he's ready for action. It was our first family vacation and I wanted time with my husband as well. Andrea set us up with Brenda one day and someone else another day. Brenda showed up on day 1 and we were SOLD! She was AMAZING!! Home RUN! I called Andrea and asked if we could just switch the other person as I did not want to go through another hour longish meet and greet to see if my son and I liked them. I can't imagine any other person. I just wanted to take her home with us. I cannot recommend Brenda and the nanny connection more. We will return, we will call the nanny connection and we will use Brenda. To be specific: Brenda was early, she brought toys our little boy LOVED! She listened to all of our comments about his demeanor, what he and we were comfortable with. We weren't too sure about her taking him to the pool (because let's be honest I've heard "yes I'm comfortable watching at 2 year old in water" -- UM No.. not always.. My two year old will try and jump off of the eiffel tower into a pool). We had a puddle jumper and alerted her of his "jumping" and "running" tendencies and you know what? Brenda FAR surpassed our expectations. We agreed on the first day not to go in the pool. We went down on the porch for drinks and she text me and asked if I'd like her to bring him out front to play so we could see how they were interacting. WHAT? YES!! THAT'S AMAZING!! She brought him around and they played on the bocce field. She was so cautious with him, asked him not to run when it wasn't safe, took him to the pool hall, where he had a BLAST! Fed him dinner in the dining room, gave him a bath and put him down! She even wrote a note every night on everything after he went to bed!! I really smiled when I left him in her care. I did not worry about him with her (and that's rare for me)!! She did take him in the pool and they had a blast. She told me the few times he was trying to be a daredevil and she stopped him (thank goodness) and she was ALWAYS LOVING, with EVERY SINGLE word with him!! He was sooo happy and very safe and that's all that matters!! For the office: I also spoke to Nikki (not sure how her name is spelled) and she was also amazing. Everyone that picked up the phone was professional, accommodating, happy and just a pleasure all around. They knew how scared I was and they were really accommodating if I felt anything was wrong to call them and they would accommodate. I don't know what they do to vet their nannies but whatever it is it's working!! read more

Our nanny Marie was absolutely wonderful, she watched our two children plus their three cousins during an adults only night out. I'm sure those kids were a handful but she handled them so well and got them all in bed and happily asleep by the time we got home. I would recommend this service to anybody who might be traveling to Maui and we will definitely be using it again in the future. read more

We hired Christy through Nanny Connection to sit for my then 5.5 month old and 2.5 year old kids. She arrived on time with the most winning demeanor - my 2.5 year old barely said 'goodbye' as we left and I was prepared for hysterics. Christy was friendly, bright, and prepared to work with two little ones. She brought toys, crafts, games, and, most importantly, bubbles! She also got the baby to sleep, no problem. We had her back to help my parents care for the kids while my husband and I took an overnight away. She was fabulous, again. It was our first night away and our older child barely noticed our absence she was having so much fun with Christy. We are already planning our next trip to Maui so we can hire Christy to help out even more! The office staff at Nanny Connection was also great. They answered all my questions thoroughly and responded to my calls/inquiries promptly. I can't recommend this service highly enough. I've used several caregivers /services over the last few years and they are as good as I've found. read more

We were so happy with the service we received from the Nanny Connection. Our boys were watched by Tara two days in a row. They both loved playing with her in the pool and in the room. We would recommend her and this service to anyone! read more

This is such an amazing service. We came from out of town, and requested babysitters for our two kids. The nanny we have had, Brenda, has been absolutely great with our kids. Bringing toys, games all relevant to the ages of our kids, 3 mos and 2 years. I would highly recommend, and appreciate the help, and time for my husband and myself! read more

Just returned from Maui and am happy to say that The Nanny Connection was a wonderful way to add some alone time to my trip. With e children on our trip, 6, 3, 1, and 1.5, all of our Nanny were well equipped, timely, friendly and considerate with our children. I only wish I had preplanned our trip to ensure the same Nanny everyday. With a 3 hour minimum we were able to have a day with a few hours at the beach alone, another evening our to dinner, and another day of excursions unsuitable for small children. Susan, Sharon, and especially Diane thank you, thank you, thank you!!! You're services, and the children's approval were seamless. Trusting in your service will be top priority to call when I return. read more

As first time parents traveling to Maui for our son's first birthday we were apprehensive about seeking out a caregiver we were not familiar with. As a registered nurse, myself, I have especially high expectations for anyone that cares for any of my loved ones. Discovering the Nanny Connection gave me confidence in knowing that all nanny staff are CPR & First Aid certified, background checked, and experienced in caregiving. We were lucky enough to be matched with Teresa. Although our son was napping at the time of her arrival we were able to leave for the evening without a worry. Her energy was calm, down to earth, and absolutely genuine. She updated us throughout the evening without even being asked to do so and we came home to a happy, sleeping baby, who had been carefully watched over. Thank you, Teresa, for giving my husband and I the opportunity to have a special night out knowing our son was in such safe and loving hands. We will certainly recommend the Nanny Connection and Teresa to many friends and family members in the future. read more

Another year and another great experience with the Nanny Connection, in particular, Diane W. This is our fourth time using TNC and requesting Diane. They have changed the way they book and bill this year which is a bit pricier but it is worth every cent when it comes to having a trusted, reliable and lovely nanny to care for your child. Booking and communication is very easy and on the ball. Our wonderful nanny Diane is a joy to work with and is a highlight of the trip for our little girl. She is professional, responsible, mature and fun. She goes the extra mile to make their time together special with toys, crafts, games and special agreements they make for the next time they see one another. Diane never forgets or disappoints when it comes to their time together and we feel so fortunate to enjoy our evenings knowing that our daughter is in great hands with Diane. read more

I have four kids and will say that I am an expert on babysitters and nannies. We needed someone we could count on to watch out little guys (3, 5, 7 and 9 years old) for several hours so we could have an adult night out in Maui and there was no question that these guys delivered, beyond expectations. They were professional, courteous and the kids had a great. They were able to single-handidly watch our four kids around the resort and in our room for games, stories and bedtime. We really enjoyed both Allison and Elizabeth our two nights. To top it off, they were really competitive and also recommended by our hotel (The Westin Kaanapali Villas). We highly recommend! read more

We have used TNC now for four trips to Maui and have always had the best experiences. I am particular about my caregivers and, as a SAHM, I'm less practiced with relinquishing control over my three kids. We had Nanny Molly and Nanny Stephanie on our last trip. Both were excellent - kind, attentive and since Stephanie spent more time with us, we were able to form a special bond with her. These caregivers are pros - there is no doubt- and as a parent you can rest easy, enjoy a Mai Tai and the beauty that Maui offers - while your children too are happy. read more

This our 2nd year using the services of Andrea at the Nanny Connection. We have 2 children and both of our children love her. Each night in Maui the kids would ask us can we get Andrea tonight? Andrea goes above and beyond the call of duty in our opinion, whether it be playing games with the kids, reading, getting them involved in activities, going for walks and exploring etc. She is extremely sweet and accommodating to whatever needs your child has. We HIGHLY recommend her regardless of what age your kids are (9,6 for us) and we will continue to request her when ever we visit Maui. read more

This is a great service!! My husband and I were in Maui with our 3 1/2 year old and 17 month old. The process was easy, the nannies were amazing! We had Audrey and Mary Ann, both were friendly and easily adapted to our children. I would recommend this for any traveling family. read more

I just came from Maui and I totally recommend The nanny connection. Hiring a nanny was the best decision we made for our vacation. We had Susan and she was great with our son (8 months old), he was teething during our stay in Maui and she had a lot of patience. We had time to relax, she gave us really good recommendations. At the end we hired Susan for 2 half days and 2 nights. They are really professional!. read more

Thank you Nanny Connection, for accommodating us at short notice and for being responsive and organized. My wife and I have never used nannies before, but after our experience with Christina and Roberta (from the Nanny Connection) who looked after our kids for 3 of the 6 days we were in Maui, I can only say that they have set the gold standard in child care services. Our kids took to Christina and Roberta instantly, they were warm and caring and had activities laid out to keep them busy. Both Christina and Roberta showed the highest level of professionalism. We exchanged numbers at the beginning and stayed in touch with us through the entire time. The services offered are as noted, and they are quick to respond. I would highly recommend the Nanny Connection for their services. read more

We just returned home from spending 1 week in the Kaanapali/Lahaina area and we had a very satisfying experience with the Nanny Connection. The process was fairly easy. After filling out an online inquiry of anticipated day/time service needs, the agency was able to match us with a nanny within a week. Lucky for us, we were matched with Meagan. Nanny Connection sent me a brief bio, childcare experience and photograph of Meagan and we felt that she would be a good fit so we decided to "move forward" with her. Meagan sent me a text directly and we were able to communicate with each other prior to our arrival. She agreed to a 1 hour meet and greet the day we arrived and 1 day prior to providing 1:1 care for our 19 month old daughter. I highly recommend doing a meet and greet, especially for little ones who might be shy (and nervous parents like us). Meaghan came prepared with her bag of age appropriate toys and made an instant connection with our daughter. She was very professional, got down to her level and was engaging, attentive and nurturing. She just knew what to do, she was confident in herself and had sound judgement. Did I mention how lucky we were to have gotten her?? We used Meaghan a few days during our stay and because we hadn't solidified ALL of our daily activities, we had some minor time changes and she was soooo accommodating...Bless her! She was always prompt, prepared and courteous. Meaghan made an impression on our little girl, she still asks for her :( If you are deciding to visit Maui and need a nanny, I highly recommend using the Nanny Connection (referred to us by our resort, Westin) and booking with Meaghan, you will not regret it. read more

We used The Nanny Connection on our trip to Maui this past week for a wedding and and a luau and had an amazing experience! We brought our 11 week old with us. There were a couple of wedding festivities that we wanted to leave the baby behind for, and thankfully we found Paulette. She was an absolute dream! We wish we could take her back home with us :) our baby girl loved her so much and we felt so comfortable and at ease with leaving her in Paulette's hands. That feeling is hard to find and we were so thankful! Recommend highly. Thank you Nanny Connection and Paulette! read more

My 2 year old daughter and I tagged along with my boyfriend to a medical conference in Maui. The Nanny Connection was referred to me by our hotel's concierge. I was nervous about leaving my daughter with a stranger for the first time, and so I specifically planned to stay on property both times we had the nanny come - the first was during the day for three hours while I went to the spa and my boyfriend was at the conference; the second time was during a 3-hour tasting menu at the resort's restaurant. However, after the first visit, any trepidation I had was erased. "Melissa" was young but professional and seemed so comfortable around my daughter. She had brought all appropriately-aged toys and activities, and won over my usually skeptical daughter relatively quickly. In fact, after the second visit, the nanny had put my daughter to bed and so my daughter did not get a chance to tell her goodbye. Upon waking up, my daughter was sad that she did not see Ms. Melissa. She told me about all the books they read, how they went swimming in the pool, playing with Playdoh, etc. My daughter and I had a long prep talk about who she would be meeting, what kind of activities they would be doing, and what kind of activities were and weren't appropriate. And, reassured by my daughter's feedback, I would rely on The Nanny Connection again. read more

We recently stayed at a resort in Maui and were paired with Celeste as a nanny for our 3 month old son. We used her services three nights. She was absolutely wonderful. She was timely, prepared, and knowledgeable. She provided excellent care for our infant. We were a little nervous at first because our baby is so little, but Celeste put us at ease immediately. She was well-versed in infant eating and sleeping habits. She even brought age appropriate books to read to my son. He was very relaxed and happy in her care. read more

This review is long overdue! I have been using the nanny connection for the last 4 years. My two daughters are 8 and 6 now. I always tell the nanny the do's and don't about pool and ocean and have had nothing but great experiences. My girls have loved them too. They are great with kids and toddlers too. I'm really overprotective and nervous about leaving my children with anyone. I reassure you that you can go out, have adult time and your children will be in great care. We have had a different nanny each time and they are all supper responsible. I can't wait to return to Maui this month. read more

Just used Nanny Connection for the 4th time and another 5 star experience. Diane W. watched my 3 year old and 5 year old 5 times over our 11 day vacation. She was AMAZING. She brought bags of fun toys, even shopping during the week and bringing new toys she knew they would like. She got them down for naps and bed no problem, and when they weren't resting they had LOTS of fun even though they were with a sitter. My kids were in great hands with Diane. She was a pleasure to work with and I plan to request her for our next visit. Mahalo, Diane!!! read more

This is our second for me to mail you the second time using the nanny connection. We love every nanny that we have received through them.

The office has extremely good customer service as well when booking your nanny. read more

My husband and I used Nanny Connections 3 times while we were in Maui. Our nanny, Mikeli, was wonderful. As soon as our 2.5 year old son met her, he was as ease. She know how to get down and talk to him on his level and make him feel important. She brought a couple coloring books for them to work on together. The second time she came he didn't even want to kiss me good bye because he was so excited to start playing with her. Mikeli was a joy to work with and talk to and made our time away from our son that much more relaxing. The service itself was also great to work with and wanted some info on our child before we arrive to ensure that they paired us the right nanny. We will use them again when we are in Maui. read more

Our family just got back from our Maui trip a few weeks ago, and I writing to say what a great service the Nanny Connection runs! We were traveling with 2 other families and having 3 nights out, just adults, really made our trip. It's not always easy to leave your kids with strangers, but knowing that the nanny was screened and certified eased our minds. Not only did we love Dionne, but our kids adored her! My son only went to bed when Dionne told him too, he didn't listen to his mom or dad all week! We will for sure be contacting you for our next trip to Maui! read more

I can't say enough about how wonderful our experience was with The Nanny Connection. Nicki set us up with the perfect nanny for our 18 month old daughter. She's my first baby, so I was definitely nervous to leave her with a stranger but felt confident in her recommendation. Once I met Andrea, I was instantly calm and felt relieved that my hubby and I would be able to have some date nights and time to enjoy the island without our little one in toe. She hit it off immediately with our daughter and even brought fun and age appropriate activities for her. The Nanny Connection allowed us the best of both worlds, as we were able to bring our daughter with us on vacation but also got to enjoy some alone time. Thank you so much, Nicki and Andrea!! read more

We recently used this service when visiting Maui for a week and booked 4 different days. They responded quickly and professionally to my initial contact with date/time requests and the process couldn't have been easier. We were lucky enough to get an absolute pro- Diane. She was amazing with our 18 month old. She showed up every day on time with different toys and would whisk her off to enjoy the beautiful Hawaii outdoors. We actually ran into Diane and our daughter a few times out and about and our daughter was having a blast. Diane also got our finicky eater to eat well and our sleep fighter to take naps and go to bed in our hotel room which had proven to be quite the challenge for us. We will use this service next time we are in Maui and will most definitely be requesting Diane again! read more

We recently visited Maui because my wife had a conference to attend. We were invited to a dinner and needed a sitter for our 5 and 2 year old. At the recommendation of the resort we were staying at, we booked Sierra for 3 hours. She works at the resort's kids club and is a former teacher. The kids had a blast with her. She brought stuff for an art project and some toys. She was professional and experienced. Our boys were sound asleep when we got back. The next morning they couldn't stop gushing about her. I would highly recommend her. read more

Nanny Connection is the BEST nanny service on the island! Their nannies are professional, their prices are reasonable, and we feel the most secure using them! Leaving your children with someone can be unnerving, but we don't hesitate to this company. The owner is passionate and compassionate. Her prices are fair--she covers her costs without price gouging customers. Highly, highly recommend! read more

Wonderful service. Crystal took care of our three children, twins age 3 and a 7 year old, a few hours each day while we were in Maui. We rarely leave our children with unfamiliar/non-family sitters. The most wonderful compliment is that when people ask my 7 year old daughter what her favorite part of the vacation was, she says "Crystal!" We will definitely use the service again on future visits! read more

It is always a little unnerving leaving your kids with someone you just met, especially when you have never done it before. But the Nanny Connection was professional right off the bat! I was matched with Reneece. She was amazing with my kids from the minute she met them. Both my boys, 4 and 2, did not flinch an eye when my husband and I left. I knew right away they were in the best hands. I would definitely recommend the nanny Connection and would 100% use them again. And I hope Reneece is available again when we need someone :) read more

Was in Maui for a wedding and was so worried about leaving our 5 month old with a stranger. This service was incredible. They sent KImana and she was FANTASTIC. My husband and I immediately had a good feeling about her and we were so right. My husband and I were able to enjoy not only the wedding but dinner & a sunset boat cruise. Not once did I feel the need to worry about my babe. I highly recommend Kimana & the nanny connection! I only wish she could come back to LA with us and be our full time nanny. She was that good. read more

We had Karissa come watch our 3 year old and 5 years old while we stayed at the fairmont wailea and she was amazing. She showed up with a suitcase full of toys for the kids to play with throughout the week and the kids immediately fell in love with her. She was familiar with the hotel and already had several ideas for things to do with the kids and where to eat and play. We have never gotten a babysitter during a vacation and It was such a treat. The kids had so much fun with Karissa that we didn't feel guilty at all leaving them for a few hours here and there. She was great and kept in communication letting us know how everyone was doing. I'd highly recommend her to anyone looking for a family vacation with a few breaks for adult time. Thanks Karissa for taking such good care of our kids. They're already asking when she can come play again. 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
