Interview with Faith: Merrimack NH Face Painter & Balloon Twister
When and why did you start working for Kaleidoscope?
I started in June 2025. I started because it’s rare to find a job full of good people where your job is to make sure everyone is having fun while doing art.
How did you get into ar and theatre?
I started as a theatre technician in my first year of high school. I slowly took over doing all the lighting, costumes, stage management, props, and a little choreography for one show. I then went on to study all of that in college.
What’s your favorite art form here?
I love doing face painting. I love when kids come up with ideas outside of what we offer and I get to be a little creative. The best one I think I’ve done is painting an Iron Man arm plate for a kid who didn’t want their face painted.
What’s people’s reaction when you tell them what your job is?
People are mostly interested in the experience required to do this kind of job and I definitely get a lot of confused looks from people who don’t know that this is a job that exists. I have also had multiple kids come up to me at parties and tell me I have their dream job and that is super sweet.
What’s one surprising fact about you?
I have taken 16 years of dance classes in ballet, tap, jazz, and a little hip hop on my high school dance team. I took my first class at 2 years old and my most recent year of classes was my senior year of college at 21 years old.
What’s one thing people would be surprised to know about your work here?
How much work goes in outside of being at a party. There are long drives, costume maintenance, training time, and getting your things all packed and ready.
What’s the hardest part about this job for you?
The hardest part for me is parking. There have been many jobs where there was very limited parking and I arrived half an hour early and there was already none available. If our clients can coordinate this and communicate it to us, it makes our job way easier!
What’s your favorite part about working with kids?
They have endless creativity. They always have the best ideas for things I’ve never thought with both face painting and balloon twisting.
What’s one memorable party you’ll never forget?
I’ll never forget my first party I ever did. I was so nervous but everyone was so extremely sweet, both my coworkers and everyone at the party. It was very well organized and there as such a great fun energy all day.
What advice do you have for someone throwing an event and hiring a face painter or balloon twister?
Maps are so helpful especially when there are building names! Knowing ahead of time where I should park and where I’m going next. Remember we are likely coming from pretty far away and are unfamiliar with the area.
