Maliny was great! She watched our daughter while my husband and I went to a wedding. She sent us updates while we were at the wedding and brought coloring materials for our daughter. I would definitely recommend hiring her if you’re on Oahu and looking for a babysitter!

We used Island Kid Sitters while we were in Waikiki for a friend’s wedding. We were nervous to do it because we don’t have our son babysat very often, but wow we were so impressed with the professionalism and care our 23 month old was given while in the care of Marie-Soleil one night and Bethany on another. They both were punctual, kind, and ready to care for our very active little guy. They were flexible, being able to come early, or stay a little later than originally planned and consistently updated us on what they were doing. They took our son to the zoo, the beach and a few local restaurants. It allowed us to enjoy time with our friends without worry because we knew he was in good hands. Thank you Maliny, Marie-Soleil and Bethany a million times! Highly recommend Island Kid Sitters to anyone that is coming to Oahu!

We booked Maliny for babysitting services for our 4 year old while vacationing in Hawaii for a wedding and had an absolutely wonderful experience! Maliny was very professional and organized during booking, we felt a sense of calm that our daughter was in great hands from the moment we met her. She provided our daughter with a fun-filled day that she was so excited to share with us. Thank you Maliny!

Maliny was amazing with our two daughters aged three and five. We are so happy we found her. She helped us over the course of four days with entertaining and feeding the girls while we attended conferences for several hours each day. They did lots of swimming at the beach and pool, and drawing / crafts / reading in the hotel room. Highly recommend!!!

Maliny was awesome! Instantly engaged with the kids and made them feel comfortable. She sent us quick updates. I have only positive things to say. The kids want us to go out again the next morning. Maliny’s fun and kindness was a positive experience for our kids and we hope to see her on our next trip.

11か月の娘をお願いしました。結論から言うと、最高でした。 まず、Malinyは時間に正確です。ホテルの部屋に時間ちょうどに来て、すぐ娘と遊びはじめました。人見知りの娘もニコニコと、とても楽しそうに遊んでいて、私たちが離れる時にも全く泣きませんでした。翌日に再びMalinyが部屋に来た時、娘がキャッキャっと喜んでいたので、Malinyの事が大好きなんだと一目で分かりました。娘の表情を見て、それまでの不安が安心に変わりました。 Malinyは日本語は話せませんが、私のつたない英語でも理解してくれました。事前のメールなどのやりとりなどは全て英語ですが、問題ありませんでした。 私たちはハワイでサーフィンやディナーを存分に楽しめたし、日頃の育児から少し離れてリフレッシュできました。娘もはじめての海外旅行で体調を崩さずに楽しく安全に過ごせたのは、彼女のおかげです。またハワイに来る時は、Malinyにお願いしたいです。

I have no words to describe how amazing Lilly is. The kiddos loved her and they get along seamlessly. Lilly has the warmth and positive vibe the kiddos loved and couldn’t stop asking of her even after she’d done sitting the kids. We used Lilly multiple times during our 1 week Vacation stay. We’ll definitely use her service on our future visits to Honolulu.
