Interview with Julia, Branford CT Balloon Twister and Face Painter
When and why did you start working for Kaleidoscope?
I started working for Kaleidoscope in May 2026 because, as an artist my whole life, I struggled to connect my creativity and eccentricity with my professional career. Kaleidoscope offered me the opportunity to do what I’m passionate about, share it with others, and produce “work” that’s so fun it doesn’t even feel like work.
How did you get into art and childcare?
I have had artistic inclinations since childhood and have continuously nurtured that part of me. I started working with children in adolescence while studying psychology, family dynamics, and mental health in high school and college.
What’s people’s reaction when you tell them what your job is?
People are always shocked and intrigued when I tell them about my work at Kaleidoscope. It’s a great conversation starter!
What’s one surprising fact about you?
One surprising fact about me is that I practice aerial arts in my free time!
What’s your favorite part about working with kids?
My favorite part about working with kids is bringing them joy and helping them feel cool/special!
