As a children’s entertainer, your responsibilities include developing activities to entertain kids at a birthday party, family event, or another special occasion. Some positions require you to perform a variety of duties like balloon twisting, face painting, and magic tricks, but you can also find work performing a specific routine. You are expected to organize the activities you plan to do with the kids to keep them occupied and interested for a set period of time. Some jobs require you to act and dance, either independently or with other entertainers. There are many specialized opportunities within children’s entertainment for those with unique talents or interests, including magicians, clowns, costumed characters, and puppeteers. You should always be improving your act and using criticism to enhance your show.
