Babysitting

If you’d like a night out, a quiet dinner, or a little time to yourself during your stay on Hamilton Island, you’re welcome to contact one of the babysitters listed below. These independent babysitters have asked us to share their details, and Hamilton Island does not accept a fee for this – it’s simply a service to help make your stay easier.

Please note that if you choose to engage a babysitter, this is a private arrangement between you and the babysitter. Hamilton Island is not responsible for the services provided, or for the accuracy of any information supplied by babysitters on our website. By proceeding with booking a babysitter you acknowledge and agree that Hamilton Island Enterprises Limited is not providing the services and these services are being provided by an independent third party.

Booking a babysitter is simple. Just follow the steps below:

  1. Browse the babysitters in the lists below. There is no single button to contact everyone at once, so you’ll need to message each group (A, B and C) separately using the relevant buttons.

  2. When you message a babysitter, include the date, time and number of children requiring care, along with any helpful details about your child/children.

  3. Please allow up to 48 hours for a response. If you don’t receive a reply, it means that no babysitters are available for your request.
