About the Role

​

We're looking for the kind of person who lights up a room!

 

District DabbleLab is hiring enthusiastic, energetic team members who love talking with people, making kids laugh, helping families have an amazing experience, and jumping into whatever the day brings.

 

This isn't your typical retail job. One hour you might be helping someone pick out the perfect gift, the next you're cheering on a birthday party, assisting with a craft project, or helping guests create something they'll be excited to take home.

If you're outgoing, dependable, love staying busy, and enjoy creating memorable experiences, we'd love to meet you.

​

What You'll Be Doing

​

Every shift is different, but you may:

 

• Welcome customers into our shop and studio with genuine enthusiasm.

• Help guests during our Make + Take crafting experience.

• Host birthday parties and celebrate alongside our guests.

• Lead games, encourage creativity, and keep the energy high.

• Help children feel included, confident, and excited.

• Assist customers shopping in our retail store.

• Set up and reset party rooms and craft stations.

• Keep the studio organized, stocked, and looking beautiful.

• Jump in wherever help is needed to create an exceptional experience.

​

You're Probably a Great Fit If You...

​

• Have a warm, outgoing personality.

• Love talking with people of all ages.

• Can naturally entertain and engage a room full of kids.

• Enjoy being active and staying busy throughout your shift.

• Are dependable and always ready to jump in.

• Notice what needs to be done without waiting to be asked.

• Stay positive and calm when things get busy.

• Believe no task is beneath you, whether it's helping a customer, sweeping glitter, or tying balloons.

• Work well as part of a close-knit team.

 

You do not need to be an artist. We'll teach you everything you need to know about our projects. What matters most is your personality, energy, and ability to make every guest feel welcome.​​
