About Donna
Experience: 36 yrs
I'd describe my personality as Caring, Inquisitive, Observant. I like caring for seniors because They have wisdom and life experience that enriches everyone around them. I'm looking for a job that I can use my knowledge and experience to enhance the life of someone who needs support to stay in their home safely. I started caring for seniors when I became a Nursing Assistant at the Veterans Administration when I was in nursing school. I am a retired Registered Nurse with 36 years of nursing experience. In my spare time, I like to spend time with family. Being in nature is rejuvenating. I enjoy cooking, reading, and listening to music
Most recent review
After interviewing several potential candidates, I hired Donna as a part-time caregiver for my wife last Winter while we were in Sarasota for 4+ months. Donna was nothing short of phenomenal. I could not have asked for a more caring, compassionate, patient caregiver who was wonderfully attentive to my wife (who has Alzheimers) and equally attentive to me. Donna adjusted well to my wife and her occasional quirks, and most importantly she was able to befriend my wife and make her days happy ones. She would take my wife to the gym, to the aquarium, on walks.....whatever my wife wanted to do. Donna's track record as a decades-long nurse, mother and grandmother have made her who she is, a remarkably empathetic, thoughtful and diligent caregiver and (I'm honored to say) friend. Should I be in a position to hire another caregiver in the Sarasota area again, I would immediately reach out to Donna again without interviewing anyone else. She's an absolute gem,
