We had Anna Banana come to our home for our 2 yo son's bday party. Mostly 5 yo girls were at the party (his big sister's friends). She kept the little kids and the bigger kids entertained the entire time, and she paid extra attention to my daughter, which was great because she tends to get jealous. It was lots of fun, the kids and adults all had a great time.
I would definitely recommend Anna for a children's party!
Anna had the attention of all the kids (age 4 months to 8 years) right from the go. She played our kid's favorite songs and brought shakers, drums, scarves, music sticks and a parachute. Anna was energetic and engaging both kids and parents had fun.
We hired Anna to provide entertainment for our daughter's 2nd birthday party. And without a doubt it was the best decision we ever made! Anna's birthday music class was amazing. The children had so much fun and were completely engaged for the entire 45 minutes. And I'm pretty sure all of the adults in attendance had just as much fun as the kids! Anna was so easy and pleasant to work with. Getting the logistics of the event ironed out ahead of time was a breeze.
Anna, we can't thank you enough for all you did to make our daughter's party so special. You took the time to learn the names of all of the children at the party, and you personalized the class with some of our daughter's favorite songs. Allowing us to come meet you ahead of time and attend one of your classes was icing on the cake. We look forward to working with you again soon!
Anna did a phenomenal job performing at my daughter's first birthday party. Although the children ranged in age, all had a fantastic time; one child even said that it was the best party he has ever been to! Anna's performance was not only entertaining, but also educational. Anna brings many props and musical instruments along with her, so the kids have a multisensory experience. Her enthusiasm and bubbly personality engaged not only the kids, but also the adults. Anna took great care to personalize the performance and played my daughter's favorite songs. She also made sure to incorporate all of the kids and made them feel special by using their names in her songs. Her professionalism and enthusiasm toward what she does are unrivaled. If I could give more than 5 stars, I would.
