Lead crafts and activities, keeping children engaged in a safe, welcoming environment.
Direct studio assistants, assign tasks and jump in wherever help is needed.
Prepare materials, craft kits and sample projects for upcoming parties and events.
Contribute to creative studio projects beyond party prep, including developing and testing craft ideas, creating samples and helping bring new concepts to life.
Help lead weekday and evening events as scheduled.
Assist customers with in-studio bookings, collect party balances and process payments accurately.

Someone who takes initiative and can make everyday decisions without waiting for step-by-step direction.
A creative, hands-on person who enjoys making things and is equally willing to help with setup and cleanup.
Relevant experience working with children, serving customers or leading a team. Experience in a studio, camp, classroom or events setting is a plus.
