About Donnalynn

In my past experience as a caregiver, people have noted that I am compassionate, have an excellent attention to detail, use my knowledge and experience well, and that I try to improve and enhance the quality of life for clients. I am in the caregiving field because of the satisfaction that it gives me knowing that the person that I'm working with has received the best possible services that I can deliver, which in turn simply helps them. I also enjoy the interaction with friends and relatives, enacting the caregiving plan, and following it to a successful conclusion. I have also dealt with end-of-life issues that have required tact, discretion and understanding. I'm proud to be a CNA.

    Hello. My name is Amy. I was a fine arts teacher in Texas working with teenagers and adults for 25 years. Seven years ago I moved to California and decided to change careers, working with seniors this time, helping them to have a better quality of life. As a senior caregiver for the last 5 years most of my clients have remained in their homes to receive care, but I've also helped some in assisted living facilities and hospitals. I have experience working with seniors who have had Alzhiemer's disease, dementia, memory impairment, visual and hearing deficits, end stage cancer as well as those who need short term assistance while healing from various injuries and surgeries. I am a very empathetic, kind-hearted and compassionate person who loves to help others. I prefer working part time and daytime shifts. I am fully vaccinated and boosted. I look forward to learning more about the needs of your loved one and how I can best help you.
