We specialize in providing responsible, trained, fun-loving sitters for visitors to our island. We believe that parents shouldn't have all the fun on vacation and do our best to provide an entertaining and educational experience for our young visitors. All sitting is done on-site at the resort or vacation property and numerous activities are possible according to the season and time of day.
Whale watching, playing at the pool, gecko hunts, lei making and hula instructions are just a few of the activities that we can share with your children. Reservations and inquiries may be made by telephone, email or regular mail. Sitters are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and for any block of time.

Our hotel recommended ChildCare Kauai and I can't say enough good things about our sitter Lorna! She was as kind as can be, very patient and sweet with our three-year old son, and went above and beyond... she came with multiple bags full of books and toys every night she babysat -- she was incredibly flexible and reliable, and we were just so relieved someone so great was available. Like most parents, we get a little anxious about leaving our son with a new person, but he was instantly comfortable with Lorna and when she came back the second night, he was like, "I love Lorna!" and

I highly recommend ChildCare Kauai! They were very responsive, and it was so easy to set up a babysitter. Most importantly, we loved our sitter, Mary! She watched my 3-month-old on 3 separate occasions for several hours at a time (including one time starting at 5:15am!!) so that I could do a few activities with family while we were in town for my cousin's wedding. She was excellent, accommodating, and took such great care of my daughter. It was clear that she's had a lot of experience with kids and babies, and she was so very kind and loving. She also gave us some great tips for things

Our experience with ChildCare Kauai was AMAZING!
We found them on yelp. After texting the company our basic info Lorna reached out to me by text and and was super helpful and put our minds at ease about leaving our 1 year old daughter with her. We even spoke on the phone prior to our trip and we instantly felt Lorna would take great care of her. A bonus is that she also gave us amazing tips on kauai and dinner recommendations.
My wife and I had booked a farm tour and chocolate tasting but they didn't allow kids her age. So we left our daughter karina with Lorna. You can tell

My husband and I visited the island for two weeks we have two children age 5 and 6. The 5 year old has autism and is non verbal. Mary was absolutely amazing with both our boys. We all had such a wonderful vacation thanks to Mary's ability to bond quickly with our children and her calm fun demeanor. She was so prepared and brought toys for the kids to play with to our hotel room. She was professional and on time everyday. Most importantly the boys just loved her. Having a special needs child can be a challenge and Mary handled his autistic behavior perfectly, with grace and patience. I would

Beth walked in to a potential nightmare... 4 kids under 3.5 years, 2 of which don't speak English... got there before any of them were awake (we had an early morning boat ride the kids couldn't come on), and has to navigate breakfast and lunch with picky eaters, and nap time with kiddos that often fight it...
But she did awesome!
All the kiddos were happy and healthy when we got there in the afternoon, and Beth didn't look shell-shocked... I was a bit more than impressed.
Thank you!

Lorna was our baby whisperer. She brought toys and books and was responsive by text, giving us updates through out the day. She had a quiet, sweet demeanor and our little 23 month-old adored her. We felt safe leaving our baby in her care. My only complaint is that she was late (5-10 minutes) two out of the three times she came to care for our toddler. I had given us a 30 minute window so it wasn't an issue for us, but before you book, consider telling her she needs to be there before she actually needs to be there. I think it's a Hawaiian thing as we ran into this a lot on the island

Mary was absolutely wonderful! We hired her to help out Autistic daughter with her last few weeks of school and she was such a positive reinforcement for her! We appreciate that she came super early and was never late! My daughter loved her and Mary kept her engaged! Mary even did the physical activities with her for class! Very trust worthy company!

Childcare Kauai was recommended by the front desk at our resort. I reached out and got a reply by text, I believe by Terrie, saying she had just sold her company and would give my info to the new operator. Lorna then contacted me and we arranged a 3-4 hour time for her to watch my 2 kids. Be there at 5:15pm to do paperwork and go over things with the kids. She showed up at 5:50pm having sent 2 texts saying she was running a little late. We quickly did everything and had made dinner for the kids, all she had to do was serve it. Explicit instructions on bedtime were given, that both kids should be

We had MICHELLE at 630am who was wonderful in looking after our two children 3 & 5. MICHELLE was very thoughtful to send me pictures of the kids throughout so we can have a peace of mind on our atv trip. We stayed at the Hyatt and they are pretty familiar with the hotel and places to take the kids out for a walk. Highly recommend their prompt service and flexible hours!

Our experience with ChildCare Kauai was AMAZING! We learned about them through another couple on vacation that had used them. They highly recommended Lorna. Arranging our date night of 3 hours was fairly easy and they responded to our request in timely manner. Lorna was so great with our little ones (ages 10months and 2yrs). So kind, gentle and engaging. She had a large bag of learning toys and games. Kept them comfortable and kept us(parents) in loop of how they were doing. We ended up doing two date nights and Lorna watched our babies both times, they knew who she was and felt comfortable with

Terrie is the sweetest! So blessed to have connected with Terrie before our family trip to Kauai. We have an 18 month old son and we are expecting another child and wanted to ensure we had at least one dinner date and daytime activity of our own while on vacation. Terrie is a professional and shows up with toys and her swimsuit and she's ready to have a good time! Our son enjoyed his time with Terrie and we could not be more thankful for her caring heart. It was so nice to have some much needed alone time squeezed into our special family week in a magical place. We cannot wait to come back

I was so excited about my trip to Hawaii. I had plans to go ATV tours and other exciting adventures. I didn't know that my 2 year could not come on these adventures until I arrived in Koloa.
I thought my adventures would be stopped and ruined. Until I found out about ChildCare Kauai .
She arrived on time and make me feel so comfortable. Both my 2 year daughter and I has a amazing day.
Vacations are for both adults and kids. ChicldCare Kauai makes it happen

When we vacationed in Kauai in May of this year, Ms. Terrie took care of our 3 year-old son for about 5 hours, while my husband and I went on a tour. She was on time, she brought a bagful of toys for our son, and she was really sweet and nice. Our son had a great time with her. He even asked if "Auntie Terrie" is going to come back the following day. Overall, we were glad we found her. We highly recommend Childcare Kauai. When we go back to Kauai, we will definitely get in touch with Ms. Terrie again!

We traveled to Kauai for the first time and we needed someone to watch our 2 boys while we zip-lined. After looking at several companies we choose Terrie. So glad we did. She was on time and ready. Our boys couldn't stop talking about all the activities she did with them. They absolutely had a blast. She didn't just have them watching tv. She took them outside to enjoy the Hawaiian weather played games and took them to the pool. She also made them breakfast and lunch. Can't wait to return to Kauai and when we do, we know who to call to watch our boys. We highly recommend Childcare

We needed a babysitter during our recent 9-day trip to Kauai and were happy to be connected with Terrie. She was highly recommended by our resort and we could not be more pleased with her service. We were a bit reluctant to leave our 4 1/2 month-old with someone new but Terrie made us feel comfortable from the start. She's very much that mother-type figure that you could tell has a lot of experience with children. She took care of our little guy last Thursday evening while we attended a luau, and then we called up on her again a few days later when we took a helicopter ride and paddle board

I was very happy with the child care most importantly my three year old son Rocco was very happy and comfortable with the staff of child care kauai. They treated him with such love and care he felt right at home and didnt seem to miss me at all. I was just happy he was safe and well taken care of and having fun. The best thing about child care kauai is their love seemed genuine for my son

My family and I stayed at a vacation rental near Kapaa with a pool. My husband and I have always wanted to kayak on the Wailua river and wouldn't be able to take our three young daughters, ages 6, 3, and 2. I contacted Terrie through her website and was pleased with the quick response and flexibility. This was the first time we were to have a "stranger" whom I had never met before, so we were REALLY skeptical. Terrie watched our three children for about 6 hours and our kids loved every minute of it. Terrie brought all kinds of toys for them to play with, painted with the 6 and
