About Donna

I put people at ease, immediately. I come with smarts, experience and most of all, a warm, open heart. I'm attracted to being a caregiver because this is a way that I can and do serve a part of our population who most need it. I am proud to say that I am accomplished in my work. I am also adept at working with people from all faith traditions, those who don't hold a faith tradition, those who are "simply spiritual," and those who have no propensity towards spirituality of any kind and prefer logic to guide them as I assist with day-to-day living and functioning requirements. In this way, being ordained as a Modern, Interfaith Rabbi, adds to the service and care I bring to your loved ones. And I love being a caregiver. It speaks to my heart through daily activities, monitoring medications, keeping space safe and neat, shopping, cooking, walking and/or chair exercises, and most of all, through warm and open heart companionship.

I am passionate and I am dedicated to and helping anybody in need especially elderly people. I enjoy to provide them with special love and support that they might need especially when they are away from their family. I have the determination and motivation to dedicate myself and services to ensuring my clients receive the best and proper health care service they deserve. A personal achievement of mine that I am proud of is, out of the 33 years as a licensed professional care giver I have not once received a complaint from a client or employees.

Have been in the Medical Field 30yrs, started from the ground up. First worked @ "JFK Hospital", when CNAs were "grandfathered in" as you were in Nursing Program & passed "Fundamentals of Nursing". After a particular point of the program, "Med-Surg Nursing" the Hospital considered you, a " Nurse Tech" , upon completion of the PBJC Nursing Program, I sat for RN-NCLEX. Didn't pass the 1st time. I was given a suggestion to sit for LPN Boards & passed them. Due to changes in health care structure, & financial issues, JFK wouldn't hire me as an LPN. It was bought out,and kept only certain amt of CNA's by Seniority, letting me go in the process. I had to wait till the area Nursing Homes would hire as LPN jobs were scarce & they were looking for RNs. I sat again for RN NCLEX, & passed and then applied @ a Rehab/LTC have been in either there, an ALF, 3 Nursing Agencies, several other Rehab/LTC & done Private Duty Care for 4 Elderly Parents & a Private Client for the past 10yrs as well. I am also a Certified Florida Notary Public some of duties have helped Patients with Wills, End of Life decision Making etc. My biggest thing about being a great Caregiver is treat the Client like they ARE your Family member,which earns their trust, & makes them MORE comfortable with you giving care to them. This way I can treat my Client as a "Whole Person" not just their Illness.This Includes: their Spirtual, Emotional, Psychological, besides the Physical Needs.
