Can you make stories come to life? Be a super hero one minute and a princess the next?
Not afraid to get your hands dirty (literally

to be kind, imaginative, clever and feel important
Possessing the skills required to rapidly count the heads of numerous moving small people is of utmost importance.
The ability to remember the names of many child their pets and special soft toys are a key component of this job.
A high level of comfort with being asked personal questions by children is essential. You will regularly be asked questions regarding what you are having for lunch,
whether you are willing to share your lunch, whether or not you are married and if not, why you are not married, where you are going (as you walk to the toilet) and what you did in there (the toilet).

There is simply no other job like this one.
