Donna K. - Los Angeles Special Needs Caregiver

Profile of Donna K.

Full-Time, 2 Years of Experience

I have experience working for the LoJay Inc, working as an instructor to mentally challenged adults. I teach living skills for daily use, and special incidents. My experience touches my heart, it allows me to get to know an individual and to teach things that they usually want to learn. I help them to cope with the everyday incidents that may happen in living. When I can accomplish trust and comfort with the person I'm working with, I know that by and by I can experience new things with them.
Related Hobbies and Interests
Well, I love the ocean, flowers and nature. I love animals. Every now and then I may dog sit for someone. In the 90's I volunteered for battered and abused women and their children.
