About you

  • You must have a warm, smiling face that makes every child feel special and loved

  • The ability to sing in tune is not necessary, however the ability to sing out of tune in front of a crowd is essential.
  • Some knowledge of Frozen, Superheros, Disney princess and Peppa Pig would be advantageous
  • Possessing the skills required to rapidly count the heads of numerous moving small children is of utmost importance
  • You must be able to remain focused in environments with high noise levels.
  • Pretending to also eat playdough creations realistically is required; this is a skill that may develop with time and experience.
  • Must be comfortable entering public places on the way home from work with unknown substances on your clothing or dressed up in fancy dress.
  • You must have an understanding that the small people you have a strong relationship with during the week, may completely and utterly refuse to talk to or acknowledge you when they see you at the local store. Your feelings must not be easily hurt.
  • You must have the ability to read a ten-page fairytale upside down with at least one interruption per page.
  • Authentically showing an interest in and curiosity for bugs and creepy crawlies is essential, even if they are your biggest fear on earth.
  • You must be prepared to have a lot of fun in the workplace. Laughter is something you can expect to engage in for a large part of your working day.
  • You must be team player and have strong values that must always be adhered to.
