Job description

Event Staff / Party HostBattle Party LA LLC

Location: Greater Los Angeles Area (mobile events throughout LA County)
Compensation: $37.50/hour | $150 minimum per event (scales with event size/time) + tips + mileage reimbursement + bonuses
Employment Type: W-2 Employee | Paid weekly (every Friday)
About Battle Party LA
Battle Party LA is Southern California’s premier mobile children’s entertainment company, delivering high-energy experiences including Nerf Battles, Gel Blaster Games, Laser Tag, Carnival Games, and Gladiator-style competitions.
While many events are children’s birthday parties, we also produce large-scale school, community, and corporate events across Los Angeles—bringing professional, organized, high-impact entertainment to homes, parks, schools, and corporate campuses.
Position Overview
We’re seeking high-energy, confident Party Hosts who can command a crowd like a multiplayer video-game announcer or live event MC.
As a Party Host, you are the face and voice of Battle Party LA. You’ll lead games, narrate battles, hype participants, manage event flow, and ensure every guest—kids and adults alike—has an unforgettable experience.
Events typically run 1.5–2.5 hours, plus setup and teardown. Most staff should plan to block off about 4 hours per event. On busy weekends, hosts may run multiple events per day. Reliability and punctuality are critical to our success and client satisfaction.
Who This Role Is Perfect For
This role is a great fit for people with backgrounds or interests in:
  • Acting, improv, performance, or hosting
  • Camp counselors, youth leaders, or educators
  • Coaches, fitness instructors, or team leaders
  • Theme park, escape room, or live entertainment staff
If you naturally take charge, bring the energy, and love working with kids, you’ll thrive here.
Key Responsibilities
  • Set up, operate, and break down event equipment (blasters, inflatable bunkers, carnival stations, etc.)
  • Lead gameplay with enthusiasm, humor, and confidence
  • Clearly explain rules and safety guidelines to kids ages 6–13

  • Keep participants safe, engaged, and excited
  • Communicate professionally with parents, school staff, and corporate clients
  • Transport event equipment using your personal vehicle
  • Arrive one hour prior to event start time for setup (tardiness will not be tolerated)
  • Represent the Battle Party LA brand with professionalism at all times
  • Lift and carry up to 60 lbs independently

Training & Support
We provide paid training, including scripts, hosting guides, safety procedures, and shadowing opportunities. Once trained, hosts are encouraged to bring their own personality and creativity—while following company guidelines.
All event gear and uniforms are provided. Staff use their own vehicles (company vehicles are not provided). Mileage is reimbursed, and dollies/hand carts are supplied to assist with setup and teardown.
Scheduling & Logistics
  • Availability is collected up to one month in advance (last-minute gigs may occur)
  • Most events take place on weekends; Saturday & Sunday availability required

  • Must be willing to drive 40–50 miles one way

  • Equipment is picked up and returned at our Playa del Rey HQ

  • Snacks, sunscreen, water, and electrolytes are always provided at HQ

Requirements
  • Outgoing, confident, and comfortable speaking to groups
  • Strong communication and customer service skills
  • Enjoy working with kids in high-energy environments
  • Physically able to lift 50–75 lbs

  • Reliable personal vehicle suitable for transporting equipment
  • Must pass a background check prior to hire
Compensation & Perks
  • $37.50/hour | $150 minimum per event (scales with event size/time)
  • Weekly W-2 pay (every Friday)
  • Tips + mileage reimbursement + bonuses
  • Fun, active, outdoor work environment
  • Flexible scheduling
  • Advancement opportunities (Lead Host, Event Coordinator, and more)
Join the Team
If you love performing, thrive in fast-paced environments, and can lead a crowd with confidence, Battle Party LA wants you.
Bring the energy. Make kids’ days unforgettable.
Help us deliver the most epic battles in Los Angeles.
