December 21, 2025Was perfect!
Rick was great! He was prompt in communication ahead of time and went exactly as expected. The kids loved him reading a book and all the adults enjoyed as well. Would definitely hire him again.

December 15, 2025Great Santa
Santa Rick called the day before the event to confirm and discuss exactly what we wanted. He arrived on time and in costume, making his entrance through a side door. He was very conscientious that the kids didn't see him pull in to the parking lot, or driving a car vs his sleigh! He was patient and kind with the little ones. All of the kids had a great experience, not one tear! We will be contacting him next year!

What to expect
Plenty of opportunity for you to take pictures of the children and family members. I will pass out any gifts that you would like me to give the kids and family. I will also gather the children and read them a Christmas story.
About
I am a retired Social Worker with 30 years of experience with Children and Family Services. I have worked with children of all abilities and their families. I started out playing Santa for my granddaughter and delivering gifts for the Adopt A Needy Family program in Albany County. As well as some non profits working with under privileged families. I enjoyed this so much that I decided to be a Santa for Hire as well as my holiday volunteering. I hope you will extend me the privilege of letting me help you to make your holiday one to remember
