In- Park Mothers Helper?

[MrsTopsail]

Hi!
We're headed to the parks in November, and i'd like to find someone to assist us in-park for a few hours. The person must have an annual pass/be in the CP/ be able to get into the parks without us providing a ticket. We would provide generous compensation (comparable to KNO, negotiable). We really just need someone to hang out with our 6mo while we ride a couple bigger rides in MK one day.

Does anyone have someone they'd recommend? I'd rather not do KNO because of the price of admission in addition to the childcare cost.

your way you have not vetted the person's background, criminal record, etc. KNO is more expensive for a reason, they have done all that! Just something to think about

Why not just use child swap? Much cheaper and easier!

We plan to for most of the trip - we thought it would be nice to ride a couple rides together one night.

This. If I were leaving my child with someone I will either have to know them or know that their background has been thoroughly investigated.

I promise, I would vet before I'd leave my child with someone. As a former nanny myself, I know what questions and information I would require.

We used Extra Hands babysitting service. They have annual passes. I don't remember pricing but it was reasonable. We had a wonderful sitter named Caroline who worked part time at magic kingdom so she knew everything about the park. Also had her go to Epcot with us for half a day. Their minimum was 5 hours which was perfect so we could ride everything and have help with 3 little kids. Plus it was awesome because she was like a tour guide for us as well!

Doesn't Disney have babysitting services that you can use at the hotel if it is just for a night?

This looks great! Saving this info for next trip!
