Why you should book me
Balloons let kids have whatever toys they want for a couple hours. And they really seem to connect with that experience. Sometimes they all get swords and spend the time whacking each other. Sometimes they want toy airplanes to fly around. But they always form connections with the stuff they get. And there are always a few who seem to connect with balloon twisting as a craft.
I just hit 400 designs, and I'm proud of how well I can do this.
How I started
Mikailah has been doing facepaint for a couple years now. I've always tagged along at carnivals to help, and balloon animals seemed like a really convenient way to make money doing that. She helped me learn a couple of designs one night, and I've been hooked ever since. To learn, I've just been watching new YouTube tutorials each day.
Why I do this
Every week I get to go to parties, and everyone is excited to see me. Kids have a lot more fun because I'm there, parents are amazed by something I can do without thinking. I know that people will have happy memories of me when they leave, and a few will cherish those memories for years. That's a rare opportunity in life, and it shoudn't be squandered.
I got a simple balloon alien when I was ten, and I think that subconsciously nudged me towards doing this stuff. I hope to inspire atleast one kid the same way.
What to book me for
I'm available for birthdays, carnivals, family events, or anything else where I'd be needed. I can work by the hour, or charge the public for each design. I prefer hourly, people just seem to enjoy the freedom to get anything and not worry about price.
