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.

Susie S.

$25.00/hour · Rio Vista, CA

I am a very compassionate and patient caregiver with 24 years of experience helping to care for individuals with Alzheimer's and other forms of dementia. I began providing care when a close friend of mine needed help caring for her sick mother. I worked with this sweet lady for seven and a half years in which I refined my caregiving skills. The bond that I build with all of my clients is unmistakably genuine and sweet. Over my career I have cared for 15 different people and each one of them and the experiences that we have shared has helped to enrich my ability to care for the next one. I am also a proud mother of two wonderful children and that in itself speaks volume about my ability to care for others. I truly care for my clients as if they were a part of my own family.
