Donna F. - DeKalb Special Needs Caregiver

Profile of Donna F.

Part-Time, 10 + Years of Experience

I have been a caregiver for both special needs and seniors for over 18 years. I received my certification as a CNA in 2002. I currently work as a home health aide and have experience working in hospitals, day programs for developmentally disabled persons, and seniors. I speak some Spanish and sign language and have taken courses for behavior management. I love my job and care deeply for my clients. I care for them with a heartfelt, loving manner. My patience, common sense, and fun humor is always put into my work in a loving way.
Related Hobbies and Interests
I enjoy working on jigsaw puzzles with my clients, taking them shopping and fishing, doing artwork and crafts, and teaching them how to be more independent. I have a music background that I try to utilize for both relaxation and fun.
