Donna's Bio

I'm a "Grandma in training"..... although I do not yet have grandchildren, I am a parent of two sons now grown and although have never been paid to care for children, I have ample experience with raising my own and with periodically sitting for family. We were a homeschooling family so, consequently I've had hours of experience playing, mentoring/tutoring, and listening to children. Listening is a valuable tool... More

Donnarie currently watches my 13 month old daughter and has since October 2012. She is amazing and my daughter absolutely adores her. She seems to genuinely care about my daughter's well being as well as my own. She is always on time. I highly recommend her to anyone needing someone to sit for their child.

Courtney E. says:
Trusting a sitter with your baby is scary, but Donna does such a great job with my 7-month-old twins. She always shows up prepared and on time. She follows all directions and keeps my kids on schedule. When the kids throw a tantrum, she stays calm and soothes them. She's not afraid to get on the floor and sing to them, play with them, read to them, etc. My babies love it. It's difficult to find a great sitter... More

Donna is such a wonderful, caring and loving caregiver! I have three little ladies 4, 9 and 11 and they fell in love with Ms. Donna the moment they met her. She is prepared with several fun activities for the kids every time she comes over. She is such a treasure and we are extremely fortunate to have her in our lives. We are new to this are and do not have any family or friends close by but when I'm working... More

We had the pleasure of Ms. Donna working for us. She is very dependable and reliable and will be using her again whenever needed in the future. The kids loved her and we couldn't have made a better choice :)

Donna currently works for our family on Fridays and as needed for Dr dentist appointments. We absolutely love and adore her. She is so good with my son. He looks forward to seeing her every week. I will be on maternity leave Sept, Oct, Nov and she will need some extra hours. I strongly recommend her to care for your child.

Crystal M. says:
Mrs. Donna worked for me and my kids and I really enjoyed having her help out. She would come to my home and wake my children up and take them to school. She was always on time and my kids loved how she interacted with them. Having her work for me really put my mind at ease. I never had to worry about her showing up on time or showing up at all. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a professional and... More

Jacqueline H. says:
Donnarie is a dream and our daughters love her so needless to say she is now #1 on our list. She is punctual, fun, spunky and engaging. After first meeting Donnarie, my husband and I felt more than comfortable enjoying a long date at the rodeo (around 8 hours) knowing the girls were in wonderful hands. They had nothing but smiles and great stories to share with us the next day. A good review helped me find... More

Lydia F. says:
Donnarie currently works for me as an after school sitter. She is fabulous. Always on time, extremely dependable, and very entertaining for my 2 girls. I am able to work without having to worry about the girls. She gets their homework done and takes them to their scheduled after school activities and always is ready with games, crafts, and educational activities for them. She has also come at a moments notice... More
