Getting Started

  • Submit an application so we can learn more about you and your interest in supporting Puffling Play events. You'll share basic information, availability, and where you're located. We value diversity and welcome applicants from all walks of life.

  • A member of the Puffling Play team will reach out to touch base with you via Zoom video call. This conversation is an opportunity to review availability, walk through expectations, and confirm Puffling Play is a good mutual fit. You'll also be invited to observe a Puffling Play event before moving forward.

  • Once we’ve confirmed together that it’s a great mutual fit and you’ve completed a shadow experience, you’ll move into final setup. This includes a background check, hands-on equipment training, and signing your Party Specialist agreement. From there, you’ll be ready to accept party requests that align with your availability and preferences to bring thoughtfully designed play experiences to families in your community.
