Our Story
In the sparkling waters of Sydney in 2019, we met at a local mer-meet with one shared passion: Mermaiding. If you’re unfamiliar with it, Mermaiding is the enchanting art of swimming in a mermaid tail—combining strength, skill, creativity, and a deep love for the water.
What started as a fun hobby quickly grew into treasured friendships and an unexpected source of wonder for the public. Children and adults alike would light up at the sight of us—after all, mermaids are mythical, and it’s not every day you meet one!
As time went on, the curiosity only increased. People stopped us to ask questions, admire our tails, and—more and more frequently—ask whether we were available for hire. That was the moment the idea truly took shape.
Our founder, who holds a Bachelor of Education (Birth–12 Years), was midway through her studies when COVID-19 brought life to a standstill in 2020. With her degree temporarily on hold and extra time to dream, she finally acted on the growing demand. Hire A Mermaid was born—a blend of passion, opportunity, and the desire to create joy for others.
It isn’t every day you get to meet a mermaid, and if we can help fulfil someone’s childhood dream—or simply make them smile—we’re honoured to do so.

The online meet was amazing for my daughter in Delhi! It was so personalised; she is normally shy but, was ecstatic to talk to a mermaid and so happy afterwards.
