From 2013 through 2019, Mansfield was featured on ASL Nook. At the age of four, she began reading Christmas stories on the channel, beginning with The Nightmare Before Christmas. She performed How the Grinch Stole Christmas! at the age of five, and E! commented, “We can’t remember the last time a holiday story made us smile so much… mostly because [Mansfield] is so into how she tells the story.” Her sign language and facial gestures are quite expressive.” She performed Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer in 2015. The Mansfields also starred in the documentary film Born This Way Presents Deaf Out Loud, among two other mostly deaf families, which premiered on A&E on September 12, 2018.
