“Wow! What a FUN party!! Nonie does such a great job engaging the kids and holds a perfect balance between educating and entertaining. She kept 20 or more 6 year olds hooked through the entire presentation...no easy feat! They laughed, the parents laughed, it was awesome! Definitely recommend her!

“Seriously impressed! I’ve known Nonie for years as a friend but have never witnessed her in action before! I knew she would be good at her job but I had no idea the treat I and the kids were in for! Within a few short minutes I was blown away by her charisma and showmanship. Her ability to hold young children’s attention with engaging educational content is unparalleled in my experience with children’s party education. If I had more children I’d hire her again and I certainly recommend her to anyone planning a party for a child, or adult!”
