Our clown was so so sweet and friendly! All the kids loved her. The only downside is we thought she was going to put on a show for the kids but i guess we booked only face paintings. Overall we were pleased.

The kids had a good time! Face painting was done really nice!
One thing would be maybe to get a new mic.
Otherwise the kids had fun! Thanks you

Thea the clown(Mary) came to my son’s 6th birthday party and made balloon animals for approximately 15 kids. She was there an hour and did a great job. She was punctual and professional.

She was great at capturing kids attention (any age group) and was engaged the entire time with them. Kids definitely enjoyed that and we heard great feedback from our guests as well. She has all the stuff needed for those curious minds.

Nora was center of attraction on our son's Golden birthday party. She came on time and was very professional. She entertained and engaged all kids very very nicely. She came as a clown. She started with face painting first then twisted balloons. All kids loved Nora's work. Then she engaged them with Magic show followed by singing and dancing.
All kids had great time with Nora. We are so happy with her. I strongly recommend her to all kids parties. She is very sweet, honest and kind person. She has lots of patience to entertain kids.
I thank her for making our event a memorable one.

The toddlers enjoyed Nora the Clown! Thank you for everything. We would recommend.
Clown
Nora did a wonderful job for our daughter's 6th birthday party! Our daughter wanted magic and Nora was able to provide some age appropriate tricks, with our daughter as her helper. I wondered if the show would be a little young for a few of the "older" six year olds, but they were all drawn in. Nora had both the ability to interest the kids and set specific boundaries for behavior. After the show, she did beautiful face painting for each child. She did a great job making our daughter feel celebrated!

She was great with the kids and kept them entertained. She comes prepared with a lot of different activities to switch gears based on kids attention span and interest. I like that the most. She is punctual and easy to work with. I would recommend her to others.

Thank you so much for your wonderful review, the kids were just wonderful and so were you, thank you! Nora

If I would have known she was so sweet I would of had her over an hour early just so she could be comfortable and more welcomed but she came right in and put an amazing show for us, She made everybody smile and laugh and gave us some interesting facts about certain topics kept us all in tune!
![](https://cress.gigsalad.com/images/initial-icons/initial-m.png)
4 star because I am not so sure what I feel about our day. I booked her for my son's 1st bday to entertain a mix age of kids and she came in late due to a car accident according to her. But she showed up (But kind of make me worried coz she should have gone to the hospital and get check) anyhow, I appreciate she shows up and tried anyway-painting mostly the adults arms and face ha ha

Thank you so much for your concern. I did go to the ER and they gave me muscle relaxers. I probably should have gone before but I made a promise to the kids and to you. But thank you for your thoughtfulness. Nora

She was very engaging with both the children and the parents and was very friendly. We originally booked her for balloon twisting but since we had a smaller crowd than anticipated she offered both balloon twisting and face painting. The kids loved it and some had the opportunity to visit with her multiple times.

Kids enjoyed having you at their birthday party. Birthday girl said she wished you would have stayed "5 hours!" (That's her statement). Thank you for entertaining them and making it totally enjoyable.

The balloon twisting and face painting was good but the few magic tricks was OK, did not kept children engaged.

Aunt Nora of Lollipop T' Clown & Pals took a party that started as a flop and made it shine like the stars that I rated her with! She had a tough crowd of four teenagers with Down syndrome and two who do not, and she entertained all of them! She has a teaching style with musical and magic trick interactions. She got the shy girl to bond with her and come out of her shell, and the 18 year old to find his inner child. I can't say enough good things about her and we will definitely use her again!
![](https://cress.gigsalad.com/images/initial-icons/initial-s.png)
Aunt Nora's balloon twisting was a great addition to our Bunny Bash event! The children loved her and the balloons! Would definitely recommend her!

Such a true Joy to have at our celebration!!! We truly appreciated your energy and kind spirit!!!! Definitely booking again!!!

When I called to confirm w/ Nora she let me know that she can not go over on time & she was firm on that. Her other party went way over & she did not allow herself enough time to get from the suburbs to the South-side of Chicago. Also, she didn't do well with directions or her GPS. She was an hour late & we only had the venue for another hour. Kind of screwed us on time and doing other things for the kids. She did give me some what of a refund but I expected more back under the circumstances. The kids did like her though and she not only kept them engaged but the adults as well. I would hire her again but I would make sure she didn't have parties booked so close to each other.

"Aunt Nora" was a perfect delight for all the children invited to the picnic, they loved having their faces painted by her!
![](https://cress.gigsalad.com/images/initial-icons/initial-l.png)
I absolutely loved Lollipop T Clown''s performance! I had an array of ages (from 1yr to 14 yrs) and she was able to engage all of them and included the adults! She was also very good with the birthday girl who was a little shy at first but came out mid way. She was very focused on not pushing her past her comfort zone which I loved!
All the parents loved her and I would highly recommend and use her again!

She was wonderful and made the day very special. She was very sensitive to my 2 year old grandson being apprehensive to the costume and was able to make him comfortable enough so I could get a few pictures. I really appreciate her sincerity and patience! You can tell she LOVES what she does.

About
My name is Nora. I tend to be a force of nature. I dearly love my children. I love all children.
I help Adults to organize family style entertainment for different venues.
To be an outstanding Performer, one must possess qualities such as patience, a strong work ethic, love for children, and excellent interpersonal skills.
I enjoy performing and teaching. I love to visit with people, for example: at church, waiting in lines, etc. I enjoy talking with and learning about other people and their opinions [as long it doesn't get disrespectful, mean, angry or caustic] whether they're men or women.
I'm a bit old fashioned in the way I treat others around me. For example, I assume that I should respect you from the very start, none of the “earning”.
Be patient enough to not be afraid of my loud voice or strong personality. Know that once I make a commitment that my word is final. I strongly believe in honor. I will respect and honor you but expect to be respected in return.
Setup Requirements
If the gig is outside-Shade, 2 chairs, water and floor area for the child to sit. If very warm, either inside or outside-a fan
