About Donna

I became a private caregiver when a friend of mines Mom could no longer take care of herself. I was in between jobs and my girlfriend worked full time and realize that her Moms condition had worsen. I liked the one on one relationship and to know how someone really appreciates your help and looks up at you and says " thank you". I'm proud of how I have adapted to so many different situations. I thought that I had patience before, but caring for someone with Alzheimer's/Dementia took patience to a whole new level. I also learned to find humor in some of the strangest situations. I like to go for walks, watch television, work crossword puzzles, love babies and right now I"m full of gratitude.
