Background info on my situation: I'm a single mom with 2 little ones (4 and 5). We are Florida residents and annual pass holders. This particular trip was in March 2023 and with no other adult I can't do child swap and Disney does NOT offer any type of services or accommodations for situations like this. I reached out to this company and fairly quickly got a response back. I reserved my day even though I was still skeptical but I gave it a try and I am so glad I did!! Taylor was our helper for the day and she was amazing! Very helpful, very laid back! It was all about us and what we wanted to do. I'm not going to lie, it was a little awkward at first as I am not used to hiring help like this for 'normal' things like: pushing the stroller; helping with bathroom breaks; helping with lunch time and getting snacks for me and the kids but Taylor was great and she quickly made me feel less awkward and more comfortable. Things I liked and that stood out: 1) The extreme flexibility of start time and location to meet. I got to call the shots of the time I wanted to start my day with them, I think I might have even changed the start time last minute and that was completely fine! I'm not a morning person so I chose 11am to meet up at Hollywood Studios. Taylor was on time and that was a positive start! 2) The day before, Taylor personally contacted me through email to introduce herself and get a feel for what we wanted to accomplish during our time with her. We eventually exchanged phone numbers so we could easily communicate for the day. 3) Taylor was amazing! The kids LOVED her and wanted to ride the rides with her instead of me!!! LoL. So I got to take advantage on a couple of rides where she took the kids and I sat back and waited and got some important phone calls done. 4) Taylor captured a lot of pictures and videos of me and the kids and kindly sent them to me. Capturing 'our' moments was always on her mind and I am so grateful because as a busy mom with my hands full most of the time, I sometimes forget to capture certain moments. 5) I never felt like we were a burden and she happily helped in every way she could and not once did I ever feel like it was a burden to her or that she was annoyed or any sort of negative impression. 6) Again, the flexibility!!! I never felt rushed like she had to leave at a certain time. Our day ran longer than I was anticipating and that was no problem at all! 7) We literally got to do everything that we wanted to do!!! As annual pass holders we visit pretty frequently and I don't get to do nearly half the stuff that I want to do mostly because of the time involved of just doing simple tasks when I'm by myself with my two kids. Or I'm just too tired and exhausted lol. Kids got to ride every ride they wanted and so did I! - I did purchase genie+/lightning lane because lines were long, of course during spring break week, and it was worth it for me. It was no issue at all that we had genie+ and Taylor did not. I felt bad at first but realizing that I was paying for her services to help me out and knowing she too has an annual pass, helped me to get passed that feeling bad when she waited for us while we rode some rides. I figured maybe it was a little welcomed break for her, as well. I had a great experience with this company and with Taylor as our caregiver! I highly recommend. Everything was very easy and there was no hidden cost or fees. Side Note: I figured a tip for Taylor's services for the day was expected and appropriate but I wasn't sure how much and what is the norm for these services so or those wondering: The standard 20% is appreciated. I think there might have even been an option for 35% but I can't remember for sure. I gave her some cash and the balance I added onto my card. I hope this LONG review helps! 10/10 I would use again.. In fact, I just booked another day with them for my next trip at the end of this month (April).

Extra Hands is a small group of professional childcare providers who are experienced in everything…read moreDisney! Kelsey worked with us, very last minute the week of spring break, to give us a break! Sara, our caregiver, was truly a life-saver and a game changer! She knew the park like the back of her hand (from fun facts to ride times)and she got us through the Magic Kingdom by noon. She watched the baby during certain rides (yes, something we thought we would never do) and took our son through Tomorrowland while we ate lunch. Our son adored her and our baby allowed her to hold her, something our neighbors back home can't do. She saved our backs from baby carrying and gave us a really enjoyable day with our children! We were super nervous, but Extra Hands keeps their services small in order to ensure quality and it shows in their people. I'm sure they are all wonderful, but ask for Sara if you want a pro who is also just really fun and fits seamlessly into your family! Thanks again Kelsey and Sara!

There were so many things she did that were unexpected and definitely went above and beyond with professional service, and really showed how much of a pro she is at her job. This was the first time using KNO where my older child actually asked where she was as soon as he woke up. When we told him she went home, he went out on the balcony and was like, good bye babysitter, thank you!! It was adorable. She was an absolute hit with our kids and we would definitely request her again. Thank you!

I have a 6 month old pup named Ellie who needed some basic obedience training and conditioning for…read morewhat seemed like simulated separation anxiety. I talked to John on the phone about the type of training he thought she would need. Just through the phone conversation I learned a lot about what he was able to do for our family but also for my pup. He gave me some advice over the phone that I could start practicing with her. Even though my zip code was a few miles out of what their website says they cover, he still was willing to travel down to my house for training. He has a package of 3 initial trainings(which he says is usually all most people need) and then additional ones if needed. I was looking around at petco/petsmart trainings but they did not seem like they'd be helpful since theres only one person with up to like 5 dogs and the things they were teaching seemed like stuff I could just find online myself. After our first hour and a half of private session and consultation, my little Ellie has shown tremendous( if not the most I've seen in this short amount of time) improvement! I also actually have a structure of a training regimen I can practice with her now until the next two sessions which are flexible in timing. ALSO, he brought toys, treats, and chews for Ellie to use for her training and to keep afterwards! Great surprise! HIGHLY recommend their in home training with John. He has extensive knowledge on training and understands the way dog's minds work and how they communicate which is very important when bonding and training your dog. It is also private 1 on 1 training so the whole hour and a half is all focused on your dog and it's needs unlike the retail store training. It is all positive reinforcement training so nothing negative! I am already confident that this was worth the time and money only after our first session and about as much as I would've spent on the petco or petsmart training! Sure it is half the amount of classes I'd be getting but the quality covers down. Not trying to knock the big chains, but the training just isn't the best out there. TIP: the phone # on their website was out of service as of 5/18/18 so I'd use their contact section to leave a message and they will call or email you back within a few days

My son attended KinderCare for roughly two years, and it was one of the most disappointing…read moreexperiences we've had. Despite their claims of having a structured curriculum, the activities never focused on actual learning milestones. By age four, my son didn't know his ABCs thoroughly, couldn't count money, or grasp basic concepts like planets. Instead, the focus seemed to be on games or activities with little educational value. The promises of teaching other languages or following a well-rounded curriculum were empty. None of the booklets or materials that were supposed to be used for learning were ever completed. For the thousands of dollars spent monthly, I feel like I wasted time and resources. After pulling him out and homeschooling, I've seen him learn far more in a short amount of time, which makes it clear that KinderCare does not prioritize actual education. I've also seen teachers mystery kids here, but the director took care of them. Who knows what else is going on when no one's looking.
