About Donna

Experience: 10 yrs

I stepped away from my corporate role as an Executive Assistant in NYC when my children were young, choosing instead to take on flexible jobs that allowed me to be present during their school years. Over the years, I wore many hats.. working in real estate, teaching fitness classes, serving as a personal chef, and providing elder care for a family in Holmdel. I was also a long-term nanny for a wonderful family in Rumson. These roles allowed me to support my family while being available for my children's busy lives filled with dance, music, sports, and community service. I truly cherish those years and all the memories we made. Today, both of my children are grown with successful careers.. my daughter is a public school kindergarten teacher, and my son is an executive manager for a big firm in New York City. The years went by far too quickly, but I'm grateful for every moment.

Donna came into our lives when my Dad with dementia needed full time care. Donna took the afternoon shift and made my Dad smile big smiles everyday. She made conversation with him which is difficult for someone with speaking and memory problems. She made my Dad feel cared for, loved and also relevant. Donna would watch television with him, pray with him, and sometimes just hold his hand. Donna seemed to be able to pick up on his mood and give him exactly what he needed What my Dad loved most was when Donna would plan and prepare delicious home cooked meals for him without being asked. She even brought some ingredients from home! Donna felt more like a family member than hired help. Donna also did a few overnight shifts each week. She made my Dad feel secure and took care of any needs he had. They even giggled together at times! Donna's skill and true caring and loving nature came out during the difficult days when my Dad was sick with fever or when he had small anxiety or very intense anxiety. She had the right skills and calm, assuring tone that helped him through each situation. I am and always will be truly grateful for her efforts.
