How many work their PPF's with friends or family?

[Sherry]

I'm wondering how many do their PPF's on their own or do you bring along others for help or company?

Most of the people I know aren't really interested in hanging out at a festival all day with me.  Except my 2 little ones who are 3 and 5.  They always want to go, but I really don't have time to keep an eye on them while I'm working.  I'm hoping as they get older, they'll be able to come along.  I think I'd enjoy that.

I've always worked alone.  I've never thought about bringing anyone with me but then again I'm used to doing things on my own.  I set-up my own tent, banner, table, etc. and I shut it down on my own.  I'm single with no kids so I'm used to getting up and going out on my own.

Even though this is my first year doing face painting... I have been busy enough that I have taught my daughter (who by professional training is a cosmetologist) to paint.  We work the larger PPF events together so there is 2 to set up, tear down and increase the profits.

I work alone most of the time. My sister comes along for the once a month street festivals, usually because she needs money and I figure I get bathroom breaks when she's there. If its going to be a bigger festival I bring my 10 yr old Sierra or my Fiance Chris along to count change etc, so that my time is well spent doing painting, not money.

I wish I could bring Sierra along for them all, but most of the time she is at grandmas etc, and Logan is too young to bring at 5 yrs. Although they have all been at some gigs with me in a crunch, etc.
