About Donna
Experience: 7 yrs
COVID-19 vaccinated
I am a mature, loving mom. My own daughter and son are grown, and I have two beautiful grandchildren, 3 years old and 5 years old with another on the way! I have always worked outside our home, with my earliest job experience as a nanny. I am CNA certified, which translates into compassion and a great deal of patience for all types of behavior when it comes to children. For the past six years, I have worked as a nanny in private homes, providing gentle, loving care for children ranging in age from 8 weeks old to 14 years old. I am physically active, and enjoy all outdoor sports, games, music, reading, crafts and more. I enjoy a challenge, and can find time for additional housekeeping and errands in a busy, ever changing daily routine. I truly enjoy working with children, they can give us so much.

My name is Shannon P and Donna M watched our daughter from 8 weeks old till she was 16 months old. It's not easy going back to work and leaving your 8 week old baby in the arms of a stranger but when I first met Donna I knew I was going to hire her. Donna is such a calm and even tempered person she doesn't get scared or angry when my daughter has one of her more challenging days she always approaches her with patience and love. Donna has taught my daughter some sign language, she introduced us to Raffi's music and my daughter is now obsessed with him. She doesn't passively watch your child she genuinely cares for my daughter like she would her own family. They play instruments, have picnics with her stuffed animals, have dance parties, they color, take walks, play with bubbles, they stretch together and read all day. I truly could not have found a more nurturing person to have spent this time with my daughter. She communicated very well with us using a shared app to track food and changing, through text when she had a question, and our end of the day chats. At our request she would share photos and videos of my daughter playing- it was really great to see how content my daughter was and it helped alleviate some of my working mom guilt knowing she was so well cared for! Donna will be truly missed by our family!
