Professional Baby: resumes for tiny professionals

Examples › Arts and design › Animator

Baby profiles for a future Animator

What would your baby's LinkedIn profile say if they grew up to be an animator? Here are three Professional Baby profiles written in the language of the job, one for a newborn, one for an infant and one for a toddler. Every line was written ahead of time and approved through a human-led review.

Make one for your baby

Ava

6 weeks old · Future Animator

Valued member of every cleanup crew | Supplies all the material

About

My sneezes are timed like a classic cartoon: a long wind-up, two tiny gasps, a dramatic pause, then the smallest 'choo' in the house. I consistently deliver ahead of schedule, usually moments after a fresh diaper goes on. I operate in focused two-hour sprints around the clock, weekends included.

Experience

Corner-Office Night Shift Supervisor of Eye Contact Initiatives
Nap Time Bank & Trust · Present · 1 mo

  • Lowered the average temperature of household dinners by 40 degrees across 90 consecutive evenings.
  • Slowed every bassinet handoff in the house to quarter speed, as leadership lowers me one careful frame at a time.
  • Rendered a first real smile after 6 weeks in production, and every grown-up in the house signed off on the spot.

Skills

Same-second service expectations · Cartoon-grade facial expressions · Spit-bubble special effects

Endorsement

“Every early smile goes to a full review panel. Eleven have been verified so far; the rest were ruled gas.”

Recommendation

The grown-ups here have studied one four-second video of Ava yawning more closely than any studio has ever reviewed a shot: slowed down, zoomed in, and played back frame by frame. Every single frame holds up.The Bib

Big win today: leadership got a full shower in. I allowed it. Leadership development is important to me. #LeadershipDevelopment

Sage

6 mos old · Future Animator

Character design locked | Big eyes, button nose, sleepy grin, zero revisions

About

I'm known for strong opinions, communicated at volume. Every morning opens with my full status report over the baby monitor, delivered from the crib in fluent babble. I lip-sync to every song in the house with total commitment: mouth wide open on one long, happy 'aaah,' about a beat behind.

Experience

Deputy Director of Bedtime Negotiations
Crib Mobile Kinetics · Present · 3 mos

  • Increased the household's outdoor hours by 300% after proving that one step outside ends almost any fuss.
  • Drilled 100% of the crew to sway on command; they now sway in grocery lines while holding nothing at all.

Skills

Deep-focus diaper work · Flipbook-speed page turning · Cartoon-grade facial expressions

Endorsement

“Never lets a grown-up conversation close without their input, usually right at the punchline.”

Recommendation

Leadership was told to sleep when Sage sleeps. The response: naps only while leadership is busy with something else. Two systems, perfectly out of sync.The Rattle

Completed a hands-on review of everyone's glasses today. My findings are now on the lenses. #Transparency

Ezra

1 yr 11 mos old · Future Animator

Snack tax collector | Takes a cut of every plate in the house

About

I study leadership the way animators study reference footage: every wave, clap, and silly face gets watched closely, then performed right back. I oversee a lean team at Teething Ring Technologies, where every grown-up is cross-trained in the one specific hold I'll accept. I sign off on every new household rule with a solemn nod, then carry on exactly as before.

Experience

Manager of Unsolicited Keyboard Input
Highchair Capital · Present · 11 mos

  • Instituted a standing policy of scheduling diaper blowouts between the wipe and the fresh diaper.
  • Resolved every open issue upon being picked up, then reopened all tickets upon being put down.

Skills

Cartoon-grade facial expressions · Storyboarding in crayon · Puddle assessment

Endorsement

“Always up for a quick sync partway through a crowded elevator ride. Has never once cancelled.”

Recommendation

Ezra commissions new animation from the grown-ups every day. 'Draw a bird.' Done. 'Now make it FLY.' Every grown-up in the house has tried, and that bird still hasn't moved an inch. Toughest creative brief I've ever seen.The Floor Beneath the High Chair

Latest post

Watched my favorite cartoon for the 200th time today and gasped at the exact same moment as always. Studios call that rewatch value. Leadership calls it 'again?' #RewatchValue

Every profile is different: these are three of thousands of combinations. Add your baby's name, birthday, personality and any big news to make your own, then share it, save it as an image or print it.

Also covers

The animator profile also fits visual effects artist.
