Carolyn's Kids, Mississauga Reviews (2)
They are not actra listed and will take your money no matter your child's size or looks...they always say there is a shortage and need all types of kids! Research it and google them...save your money and find someone else.
I took my daughter to Carolyns kids, they are one of the better agencies. I was recommended by my neighbour. I am so glad I was recommended to them. Kristin has been just wonderful and getting my daughter work, so far she has booked a lead in a TV Series. I would recommend this company to everyone!
I find it amusing that this review was written by someone with a user name similar to that of the company.
We went to an open call today at Carolyns Kids. The staff are nice, but regardless of what any of the pro-Carolyns' respondents on here have written - the baby program is a scam. First of all, they obviously don't have many people doing the math when you figure they say they only take 4 children of each age category at any given time - yet they sign up on average 10 to 12 babies per week - that is 500 to 600 new clients a year who they say they 'protect'. When I brought this to their attention, they could not give me an answer. Secondly, my wife was a professional model in Toronto in the 80's, and she knows what to look for and what questions to ask. The Carolyns' rep made no sense in answering the questions my wife answered her a about the industry, and when my wife told her that an agency is not supposed to charge an admin fee the girl literally started sweating and rambling on about studios charging fees and them being charged to the agency and then you having these charges taken from your cheque. Not in the real world!
Finally, not ONE baby was really looked at and none of the parents were interviewed. They just asked for $300 and handed you a one page 'contract' to hand back with your $300! EVERY one who had $300 was a new client. EVERY ONE! The topper was when we said we would think about it and they said we had to give them the 300 today or they may have to give our babies 'spot' to someone else and we would have to come back again and start over. My wife said, 'if we send the money or call in our credit card number in 3 days - you only do open calls once a week so how will any other baby get our daughters' 'spot'. At that, they suddenly thought of a way to fax in the contract when we called in the number.
What a complete scam! I know there are people who have found success with them and my hats off to them - but the hundreds of people who are paying fees are what is carrying this agency.
