Binge-Watching Kids’ Shows for Netflix Is a Real Job—And We’re All Perfectly Qualified
In a move that has parents everywhere raising their eyebrows, Netflix is on the hunt for someone to binge-watch kids’ shows and movies. Yes, you read that right! This isn’t a joke. This is a real job opportunity that allows you to work from anywhere, and the best part? We’re all pretty much the ideal candidates without even breaking a sweat.
Netflix is searching for a Kids Content Tagger, a position that primarily involves categorizing children’s programming by age, theme, tone, storyline, character traits, positive messages, and any cautionary material. The programming targets kids aged 0-12, which means our experience as parents is about to pay off big time.
Let’s break down the qualifications point-by-point to show why this gig should totally belong to parents. Netflix, we’re ready to take on this challenge!
- Extensive Knowledge of Kids’ TV Shows and Movies
Who knows more about these shows than the parents who have become unwitting experts after years of watching them on repeat? My partner and I have likely developed a sort of kiddie show Stockholm syndrome, actually enjoying the very content our kids adore. All those hours spent in front of the screen could finally lead to a job. How amazing is that? - Professional Experience in the Kids Entertainment or Media Industry
Does having an impressive skill set in Disney princess impressions count? I’ve entertained countless kids with my spot-on impressions of Ariel and Jasmine. No? Well, that’s a shame—clearly, I have no accounting for taste! - Passion for and Authentic Interest in Kids Television and Movies
Nothing screams passion like knowing the names of every single engine in the Thomas the Tank Engine universe. Bonus points if you can tell the difference between steamies and diesels, right? - Comfort Learning and Applying a Complex Categorization System
If you’ve ever tried to decipher what your preschooler means when they reference that one episode of Daniel Tiger (you know, the one they love but can’t quite describe), you’re more than qualified. No categorization system is trickier than that of a picky four-year-old. Bring it on, Netflix! - Ability to Collaborate Harmoniously with a Dynamic Variety of Team Members
As a parent, navigating the emotional rollercoaster that is a child’s day-to-day moods is practically a specialty. If you can negotiate bath time with a sugar-high toddler, you can undoubtedly collaborate with anyone.
Although this position is only for a year, it requires just 15 hours a week, leaving plenty of time for your own viewing pleasure post-shift. And yes, it can be done from the comfort of your couch, possibly with some wine and popcorn. Sounds like a dream job, right?
So, Netflix, if you’re looking for someone who meets all these qualifications, please take our money—err, we mean, hire us!
