Mermaid Laura did a great job at my daughter’s 6th birthday party. My daughter was so excited to see a “real life” mermaid. Laura played games with the kids, read them a story and applied tattoos to the kids that I had purchased.

What to Expect
My act depends on the specific type of event and audience. I always perform in fabric tails, but have many options to choose from! I always have a mer-wrangler with me. (This is someone who assists me for both dry and wet events, and ensures that I am always safe, especially in the water. My mer-wrangler is well trained in water safety and is always a veteran and/or first responder.) Here is a general idea of what to expect for the more common event scenarios:
Dry events for kids- These events generally last about an hour. I can sit on the floor or in a chair and lead the group in various activities. I can read a story, sing songs as a group, facilitate games, and pose for photos.
Dry events for adults- These events generally last about an hour to an hour and a half. I can sit on the floor or in a chair and lead the group in various activities. I can pose for photos and facilitate games.
Wet events for kids- These events usually last 45 minutes- one hour. I am always ready for a pool or beach party! I can play games in the water, swim and perform tricks, pose for photos, and sing songs as a group.
Wet events for adults- These events usually last one hour- an hour and a half. I can facilitate games in the water, swim and perform tricks, and pose for photos.
This list is not exhaustive! I do my best to accommodate all special requests.
About
Shello! I am a mermaid performer in central Maryland, but my mermaid journey started while I was a marine biology student at the University of Hawai'i. I have extensive mermaid experience on land, in pools, and even in open ocean. I love sharing my passion of the ocean and the natural world with others. For my day job, I teach scuba diving and manage my family's dive shop. I have my own insurance and too many professional certifications to list here. (If you're interested, I am more than happy to send you my resume.) I am also a volunteer public safety diver with my local fire department. I am also the current Miss Maryland Mermaid, 2023!

Additional Booking Notes
For all events, please let me know the specifications of the environment ahead of time, as well as the number of guests and their expected swimming abilities (especially for children), so my mer-wrangler and I know what to expect.
