WHAT PARENTS SAY
MARY
TIMBERS, LIHUE
We booked a week long trip to Timbers in Kauai and struck gold finding Michelle to be our Nanny during our stay. Michelle was a fabulous caregiver for our 6 year old son! I wish I could have taken her back to California with us! She was on time, sweet, and immediately connected with our son who is extremely active and full of energy just like her and her spirit! She took him fishing on the property, explored the beach, played amazing and active games throughout the day. Also, we had her accompany us on some excursions as she was just that amazing and knows the island so well! When he was with her and while we were off playing golf or at the spa she would text, send pictures and videos throughout the day….Incredible!❤️ She is a true gem and I currently recommend her to all our friends who travel to Kauai! An amazing jewel of a human being.
THE MARSHALLS

Auntie Shell is truly my children’s favorite babysitter on the island. She always arrives with a bag full of crafts and games and is up for any adventure: swimming, water sliding, scooting, biking or just watching them climb in and out of a golf cart for hours. They are always sunscreened, fed and happy and the house is always clean upon our return. And not to mention she is very capable of watching many many kids at once. We love her. But don’t book her too much because we need her too!

GRAND HYATT, PO'IPU
We had the pleasure of having Michelle take care of our baby while we were in Hawaii, and she exceeded all our expectations. Not only was she attentive and caring, but her connection with our little one was so remarkable that even other guests at our hotel took notice. Several people approached us after seeing her play with our baby in the pool, expressing how impressed they were with her dedication and natural way with children. They mentioned they’d never seen a babysitter engage with a child so warmly and genuinely before. We couldn’t agree more! We would give Michelle five stars and beyond for her phenomenal care. If you’re looking for a babysitter who will treat your child with the utmost love and attention, Michelle is absolutely the one to choose.

Michelle is a true gift to the island of Kauai. We have used her services for many years. My three children absolutely adore her. She is kind and patient. She is crafty and fun to be around. Whenever the children come home to us they are rested, well fed, energized, and delightful. She has a way with the children that blows my mind. And we look forward to seeing her every trip to the island. The children ask to see her year-round. That’s how fabulous she is!
THE FLOODS
KAUA'I LOCAL FAMILY
We are incredibly fortunate to have Michelle in our lives for the past four years. From day one, she’s created a warm and engaging atmosphere for our kids, whether it’s through fun crafts or exciting activities. Her creativity truly shines, and she always makes our children feel special. Michelle is there for every school event and ceremony, cheering on our kids like they’re her own. Her reliability and punctuality give us peace of mind, allowing us to enjoy our time away knowing our children are in the best hands. She even stays overnight when we need her, which has been a lifesaver! We can’t thank Michelle enough for the love and support she brings to our home. Our kids adore her, and she feels like a true member of our family. If you’re looking for a dedicated, trustworthy, and loving babysitter, look no further than Auntie Shell!

I can’t say enough great things about Michelle! Every time I visit Kauai with my three kids, she watches the kids, and it’s always a blast for everyone. With five kids aged 6 to 12 in the house, there’s never a dull moment! The kids absolutely adore her and always ask when they can see Auntie Shell again. She brings so much fun and creativity, keeping everyone entertained with tie-dye shirts, crafts, and games. She has a natural way with all the kids, making them feel loved and engaged. I love knowing they’re in such good hands while we relax and enjoy our time together.
