I bring my big warm heart and love for children, where ever I go. I fell in love with entertaining children while studying with acclaimed medical clown, Patch Adams, in 2010. I also studied face painting, balloon twisting at Mooseburger Clowning Arts Camp in (phone number hidden)2.
I offer state of the art face painting, using only FDA approved paints, and balloon twisting. I also provide dynamic music circles, puppetry, storytelling, games, art projects, and singing telegrams!

I am also a Marriage & Family Therapist, Children's Music Teacher, and former Preschool Teacher.

Devorah did face painting and balloon twisting at my son's birthday party. If I could rate her better than 5 stars I would. She was so incredibly great with the kids and patient. The facepaiting was out of this world. The kids did not want to wash their faces at the end of the night. The balloon twisting was incredible. She is an amazing, kind spirited, hard-working entertainer. She made all the kids feel happy and comfortable. I would highly recommend her!! For days after our party I had parents reaching out complimenting her and explaining how their kids had the best time at this party because of her! If you are reading this review trust me and look no further. This is the person you want at your party.

Not only is Devorah super talented, she brought the most kind and peaceful energy into a chaotic kids party. Every child’s favorite part of the day was getting their face painted! HIRE DEVORAH — trust me you won’t regret it!!

Devorah was great entertainment for our daughters first birthday party. She entertained the children with a circle time, face painting, and Balloons. She was extremely nice and professional. The face paints were amazing and it added a nice touch for not only the children but adults as well. I would definitely recommend Devorah for your child’s next party!

Devorah provided face painting and balloon twisting at an alumni picnic event that had 15-20 kids and she was amazing. She was super responsive from the initial inquiry about 6 weeks before the event through the day of the event itself. Logistics were minimal and a breeze. Her face painting was truly a work of art and the balloons kept many kids entertained. Can't go wrong!

All the other parents inquired as to where we found her. Highly professional throughout, easy to communicate with leading up and the star of the party. Highly recommend!

Missy, Thanks so much for your wonderful, kind words! I loved meeting you all and entertaining Miles and his friends with music, face painting, and balloon twisting! Miles and Nia and their big bro are so sweet and precious and a joy to be around and you have such a lovely family and group of friends. It was a great birthday party! :)
Devorah is an absolute must hire! She was so wonderful at our daughter's first birthday, where we had about 30 kids to entertain. Dressed as an adorable bumble bee, she held the attention and created excitement for kids aged 1-7! They were mesmerized! She then did balloons and face painting. She was so sweet, inclusive, a dream to work with and have as part of our special day. Devorah, you are the best! We can't wait to have you back :)

Devorah was an absolute hit at my daughter’s 4th birthday party. Her experience as an early childhood educator was so evident during the event. She is kind, loving, and respectful and all of the children instantly felt comfortable with her. She corralled nearly 30 children through a music circle, jam session, arts and crafts, and balloon twisting.
All of the parents at the party commented on how incredibly she was with the children. They trusted her enough to head upstairs and relax for a bit!
Lastly, I personally loved chatting with her leading up to the event. She is a joy to work with. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a gentle, caring, and experienced educator/moderator for a children’s event!

I am beyond honored I found Devorah online. I booked her for my daughter’s 5th birthday and I must say she is worth her price and more!! Devorah from the very beginning was very communicative and professional. She remained in contact with me every step of the way. At my daughter’s party Devorah’s energy was very open, peaceful, and welcoming! Devorah, was also welcoming to the big kids (adults) who wanted their faces painted and nurtured their inner child! I would absolutely book Devorah again and if you’re wondering if you should, let this be the review that confirms your choice! Devorah will be a great addition to any party you are having!!!

Devorah was so good with the kids, and very professional - a great communicator throughout the whole process. Her face painting skills are out of this world, and the kids loved the balloon twisting. She made my daughter's 7th birthday party extra special. She has a kind and vibrant energy that really resonated with the kids. Thank you again Devorah!!

Devorah did a fantastic job for us. She entertained our customer’s children at a corporate event, and we had tons of happy little customers. She has a very happy, friendly personality and is gentle and patient when relating to children. They loved their face painting and balloon twisting. She was such a hit that we had adults come by and want their faces painted too! She’s a “can’t miss” at any children’s event. We look forward to having her back.

Devorah came to do a music circle at our home. She showed up early to set up.

Wow Catherine! Thanks so much for your wonderful, kind words! I loved working with you and providing the singing telegram for this family! It was an absolute joy, and thanks so much for the opportunity!
Absolutely amazing job! Devorah is truly an artist! Her designs are not simple; instead, she creates a work of art through her face painting! I have attached photos to showcase the perfectly whimsical designs she created for our children & the guests at our daughter’s birthday party! Devorah is a kind & friendly person; she’s very thorough with her work; she assured us of her safe allergy-friendly paints; arrived on time; made sure everyone had a chance to be face painted; and she even balloon twisted when there was extra time left. If you are looking for a wonderful & professional face painter/balloon twister, please trust me & look no further, because you should call Devorah!

We booked her for a couple of hours during our meetings and the kids LOVED her!!! She did an amazing job!! The kids went home talking about the clown!! Thank you Lovedeedoo for a wonderful job!! I would say come a little earlier so you are not hurried in the beginning.... best for kids 0-9
Clown
Lovedeedoo has the patience of a saint! She spent two days face painting at an event with me and she was patient, caring and came out with some of the most beautiful face paintings I've seen. I would hire her again and you should too! Not only did she get herself there, but she also got a second to paint for both days which was immensely helpful- she organized and made sure they had everything they needed in order to be professional and do a great job. She is outstanding.

What to Expect
.All I can say is...WHAT A JOY!! We had a party of 10 children aging from 2 years old all the way up to about 7 years old, and Devorah captivated all the children and adults for hours. Between her wonderful guitar playing and singing, very fun show, where she interacted with EVERYONE, and the amazing animal balloons, SHE WAS A HIT!!!! The children had an amazing time, and me, as a parent needs to do nothing more than just enjoy the show!! Devorah used some of my son's favorite people, grandma, and grandpa, uncles etc. ...to get my son' to interact, and in a very loving way, included every child in the fun. I would most definitely recommend Devorah to anyone! And, I will think of her when I need anything along these lines again. Thank you Devorah! You were the highlight of our party!!!!!

Devorah came to my daughter's 5th birthday party, and she was such a hit. We had 22 kids at the party. She got them up moving with singing, puppets, and dancing for about 1.5 hours. The kids loved her!...She did animal balloons and face painting and even when she was done with the kids, she went around to make sure they all still had their balloons, and if they didn't or if they wanted another balloon, she gave them what they wanted. I would totally recommend her for a party! She was amazing! Thank you!
-Celia Munk, Albuquerque, NM
I would like to highly recommend Devorah for any event you might have. She is awesome!! She arrived early in her adorable costume, and got set up before our picnic started.

She is a professional, and she is great with kids! They loved her! We will be using her again.

Earlier this year we were lucky enough to have a visit from Devorah during our Summer Camp program, and it was such a treat for both the children and the teachers! Devorah has such an enchanting manner of performing and engaging children - they were immediately enraptured by her adorable costume and they were captivated by her lovely music and wonderfully entertaining humour puppet show. We also were so impressed by the face paitning and the children were thrilled to have their faces so artfully done! Not all preforamer have that magical touch with children that Devorah has. Her playful sweet and fun perform is the perfect for a group of any ages.

We loved having Devorah come over to entertain young guests at our daughter's 7th birthday party. Devorah was very patient in answering all of our questions before booking. She is punctual, came fully prepared, and immediately took over the duties of entertaining about 20 kids - ages 2 through 9. All through the show, balloon art, face painting, and various other games, she kept the kids engaged and I could tell they were just captivated by her presence. Even the adults found the hour and a half that she spent with the kids entertaining. She was gentle with the kids, guiding them through all the games, and answered all of their requests and questions with a smile. My kids loved Devorah, and we would recommend her wholeheartedly.
- Ash, Albuquerque, NM
