The children loved him and were willing to stand in line to get some of his fabulous balloon makings to take with them. Very accommodating too.

I contacted and booked Vanilla Swirl for my nieces 2nd birthday party. After several communications with him via Thumbtack, we spoke on the phone and re-confirmed the date, time and location of the event. My niece was thrilled to be having a clown for her birthday, so you could imagine her disappointment when he was a complete no-show! Not a phone call, text or message. The let down on her face when we had to tell her the clown isn’t coming is something I never want to see again. He is unprofessional, unreliable and mean to say the least. I still have not heard from him as to what happened, but I will certainly recommend another source of entertainment if you are looking for a clown.

FAQs

• What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?

  I request a deposit of $25. I also request that I get paid the balance at the beginning of my time with your party guests.

• What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

  I like to touch base with a customer to discuss their feelings on social distancing and the kids that will be attending. I also would like to get their children’s age, first name of their child and address of the event. I also will want to know the approximate number of kids that are expected. I’d like to request the customers email address in order for me to email them a letter of agreement, stating my understanding of our agreement. I arrive carrying in two large plastic boxes and a bag of balloons. With COVID-19 I’ve been using a battery operated microphone to help my voice carry while wearing a mask.

• What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

  Attended the week long Clown, Mime, Puppetry & Dance Ministry Workshops, twice. Attended the International Juggler’s Convention and the Northeast Clown Association once, a week long workshop that the “Clown’s Without Borders”, put on through the Omega Center, ongoing training through, The Magician’s Business Hub and Balloon Artist College.
