Job Summary

Please feel free to visit our Facebook and Instagram pages, to get a feel for what we do.
At the moment, I offer at home parties for 6-8 children, however I am looking to expand in the upcoming months and offer larger group bookings in halls etc.
I am looking for confident, fun, easy going candidates with a flair for performing, to join me as a fairy assistant setting up and hosting parties and attending events.
The children who we visit really believe we are real and I am looking for candidates who can maintain that character and help make birthdays magical. It's hard work, but great fun
