About Donna

Experience: 10 yrs

I left the corporate world in NYC when my children were little so I could be at home to raise them. (My children are now grown and both of them are teachers in NJ public schools!) When I first joined Care. com years ago I was hired by a family in Rumson and babysat full time for 3 children (The setting was ideal because I only worked during the hours my children were in school. The 3 children that I cared for are now grown... but I still keep in touch because we have become very close, like an extended family. I also have experience with senior care. I worked as a caregiver for a woman who was bedridden with MS. I did this for 3 1/2 years before her and her husband moved away to be closer to their children. I cooked, fed her meals. laundry, drove to doctor appointments, light cleaning, shopping, planting vegetable garden, and basically whatever else I could help with.

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.
