* You must have a warm smiling face that makes every child feel special.

* You must be able to laugh at jokes you don't understand, or you don't find funny!

* You must be able to distribute warm hugs as required.

* Possessing the skills required to rapidly count the heads of numerous moving small people is of the utmost importance.
