Highly recommend. Adding balloons and face painting to our 4 year old’s birthday party was a huge hit for kids of all ages. She did 1 hour balloons and when everyone had one she did face painting for the 2nd hour. Very reasonable price - worth the value. On time, great communication. Process was very smooth!
Details: Birthday party • 11 - 20 guests • Younger than 4 years old • 4 - 6 years old • Simple balloon twisting (e.g., one-balloon dog) • I'm flexible

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
2 hour minimum. $60 does not include Travel fee. The Quote depends on the date of the event, how many hours you need me, and the location.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
The client and I discuss their event. They tell me what they need and any special requests they may have. I let them know my process and what to expect.
The coming week of the event, I text to see if they have any questions for me, and I send a reminder the day before and the morning of the event, just so they are rest assured.
How did you get started doing this type of work?
My sister does face painting, and she needed a balloon twister for an event, and so she bought some balloons and asked for my help.
The first time I did it was at age Ten for a talent show. Luckily, I still remembered, and I relearned it very quickly. Turns out, I am good at it and I really like making balloons for kids.
