Here are some common questions people have for me:
Q: What does your fee include?
A: My fee includes, whatever character you would like. As many activities as time allows, 10-13 kids= 3 activities, 14-20=2 activities for 1 hour. Every extra half hour adds 1-2 activities. Travel to your party, and all my supplies that I bring along.
Q: What is a "normal" party like?
A: I always say that you should have me arrive at least a half hour after the party has started, that way most of your guest should be there by the time I start. When I arrive I usually do an activity where the kids can get to know me, Magic is great for this. Then I go into more detailed activities, balloon twisting, face painting, games. At the last 5 minutes of your event I save time for pictures, you can take group, or just one on one pictures. That will be the whole length of your party, and at the end I collect the final balance due.
Q: How much time do I need my entertainer for?
A: First figure out how many guest you want, then what activities are importent to you. When you call me, I can quote you a good length for your event. Most parties under 10 guests, 3 activities are about an hour.
Q: When do I book?
A: You should try to book as soon as possible. I get booked sometimes 4 months out!!! When booking, you will pick your event day, time of event, character, activities, and anything else you would like me to know. Your party is not booked until you pay the $50 nonrefundable deposit.
Q: What if more guest come then I told you about?
A: I call three days before your event, and ask if you have a solid number on guest. I do understand that there are always that one family who did not RSVP and showed up anyway. Normally it is not a problem. But if a lot more guest arrive then you told me, example you told me 10, and 20 are there; I will not do one of the more lenghty activitiesi.e balloon twisting, face painting. Or you can always add more time for an extra $50 every extra half hour.
Q: Are you experienced with children?
A: Yes, I have been working with children in schools for over 10 years!! I have been a nanny for over 3 years, and was a preschool teacher. Unlike most entertainers, I am finger printed and in the Live Scan files (California schools background check). I am also CPR certified and first aid certified.
Q: Should I tip my entertianer? And if so, what is a "normal" tip?
A: It is not required to tip your entertainer, but it is always a nice thought. A "normal" tip is just like a waiter's tip, 15-20 percent.
Q: Can you do other characters that are not on your site?
A: Feel free to ask if I can do other characters. I have more characters then just the ones on my website, they are just not booked that offten. If I don't do the character you would like, I can point you in the right direction to find the company to fit your needs.
Q: Can I have more than one character at a time?
A: This is my own company and I do not offer more than one princess at a time.
