OUR VALUES
Drive: We value people who are hungry for and not afraid of hard work, ie. available, reliable and committed to work and going above & beyond when it’s required.
Humility: We are interested in true ‘Team Players’ who can work together and have each other’s backs,
ie. they share credit and emphasise team over themselves. Humility is not “thinking less of yourself, but thinking of yourself less”.
Authenticity: The key to our success is authentic connection & engagement with kids and family audiences resulting in memorable experiences. We strive for two-way connection or energy exchange with our audiences, rather than a one-way performance showing off one’s skills.
Fun & Openheartedness: This is a job with heart… when we feel it, our audience does too! We care about and have a real love for working with kids, fun & kindness is a part of who we are. We get a buzz out of empowering children and generally like making people feel happy.

- Comprehensive paid onboarding and performance training before accepting client bookings
