Ask them if they offer any package rates. Find out what the balloon twister will need from you. For instance, will they provide the balloons? There are special quality balloons that a twister usually uses and they normally take care of this but it doesn't hurt to make sure. How personable is the candidate? Do you actually like them? This might make a difference because they will be interacting with all of the kids and they need to know how to keep everyone smiling even when they are not working on their sculpture. Do they have a limit to the number of children they will work with. Are they available for more then an hour if needed? How is overtime charged? References are very important.
