Always look for local companies only

Chances are these companies will deem you out of their ‘service range’ and will not be able to send any of their children’s entertainers to you which means you have just wasted your time looking them up.
The best thing to do here is to look for companies that are local to your city or community, as they are located much closer to you there should be no problems sending their entertainers to where you are located. The other benefit of hiring local talent is that they know your community’s ways and can therefore better relate to your child’s needs.

The best advice you can get when hiring children’s entertainers can come from the very people who need to perform this search on a daily basis. Local program organizers are a great source of info in this aspect because they will have tons and tons of contacts in the field. You might even be able to get a local magician and clown to go along with your entire package.
