How did you get started doing this type of work?

After being a part-time preschool teacher when my children were young, I realized how much happiness a child's smile gives to the world. It was then that I decided to become a children's entertainer!

What types of customers have you worked with?

Birthday parties, anniversary parties, wedding entertainment for the kids, corporate events, fairs/festivals, craft shows, family barbecues and reunions, any event where there are children.

Describe a recent project you are fond of. How long did it take?

I am now offering candy cups with a balloon creation on top. For Easter I put together a dozen for a friend and they turned out so cute!

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

Professional entertainers will have liability insurance Schools and state programs are now required to have a copy of the State Child Safety certification for entertainers working with children. Copies of my certificate of insurance, W-9, Child safety certification, and criminal background check are available upon request.

What questions should customers think through before talking to professionals about their project?

Know your budget... Depending on the project, customers should keep in mind that rain dates are rarely a possibility for entertainers unless both dates are booked and paid for. Most entertainers do their craft to earn a living and can't hold dates without a deposit. When you are certain of the date, send a non-refundable deposit to secure the date. An approximate number of attendees will help the entertainer figure out how much time is needed and they can prepare accordingly. Sometimes a multiple date commitment will inspire a discount.
