The Very Best!!

Just stop reading this now and contact Tanya True! She is an amazing talent and a wonderful light that literally MADE my daughter's 1st Birthday party! She had a room full of kids of various ages and adults captivated! She had us all laughing, dancing, singing and having the best time ever! My daughter, 1, even did some dance moves I've never seen her do ever! I think she was trying to let me know she too was happy I picked Tanya! I can't wait for my daughter's next party because Tanya is the only person I'd want there!

Dearest Simone,

Thank you so much for including me in your daughter’s first birthday celebration! Such an honor, and with your crew...SUCH FUN!

I thoroughly enjoyed my time with all of you. Thank you for all your kindness and your amazing compliments! When I found out you are a psychiatrist at Bellevue, after telling me I should be at therapist, I felt doubly honored, and seen. You are simply the best. I can’t wait for the next one!

Warmly,
Tanya

Totally Engaging and Magnetic Performer

Tanya was such a joy to book for our Take Our Kids to Work Day event. For an hour straight, she was able to hold the attention of littlies from 18 months to 7 years old. I had told Tanya that the theme of the day was sustainability and teaching children about renewable sources of energy, and she came prepared with songs to teach them about that and being kind to our earth. I was so impressed and she was such a pleasure to coordinate and plan with.

Dear Sheyenne!

Thank you SO deeply for my entire experience with you at Etsy Headquarters, and all communications before, during and after! Getting to create some artwork in the Maker’s Space during my first visit, really rounded out what was a very fulfilling creative journey! Upon learning the theme, I went to work on songs, researching and planning how best to translate critical concepts of sustainability, caring for the earth, ourselves and others.
Such an inspiring job to be hired for!
I hope we get to work together again!
☮️💜
