Topic > My job at Kid Zone - 1446

I work at a place called Kid Zone. Kid Zone is a party place for children. At Kid Zone I'm a floor girl. The work of a girl on the piano is very simple, but it can tire you. There are two girls on the floor at an average party. Once the party starts, a girl stands near the door, greets the guests and takes the guests' shoes, jacket and gifts. Then he gives the children a name tag. The girl on the other floor stands on the mats and keeps an eye on the children who have already arrived. About fifteen minutes into the party, we start with some games. Usually hot potato, limbo and musical chairs. By now the pizza should have arrived. We then serve the adults and children food and a drink. When everyone is done eating, one girl cleans the tables while the other plays freeze dance. Everyone who plays wins a prize. After the frozen dance, the chosen character will come out and perform three dances with the children. The character then sings happy birthday and leaves while the girls serve the cake. The girls then have about fifteen minutes to play another game, usually the potato sack race, and start cleaning up for the next party. “It's not hard work, but organizational skills are very important to have a smooth party.” quotes Christina Messina, a Kid Zone hostess. This is necessary because you have a certain amount of things that need to be done in a certain period of time. I also believe that patience is another quality you must possess to do this job. Patience according to Webster's Dictionary is defined as the demonstration of endurance without complaint in case of danger. You have to be very patient. Working all day with noisy, out-of-control children can be very stressful. You have to deal with children who don't listen to the rules, fight, climb on ropes and walls, throw toys and balls from the ball pit. When dressing up as a character, pull on the tail or ears, try unzipping the back of the costume, and even try detaching the head. Sometimes this can be very annoying, but one must maintain self-control in all circumstances. Enthusiasm is another quality that must be acquired. You are constantly on your feet all day. Not only are you just standing around, but you're running around, playing with the kids, while trying to make sure all the adults have everything they need.
