About Donna

Hi! My name is Donna. I'm 36 & I have a super diverse skill set, in many different settings! I started working w/ children in my early 20's (infants to pre-K) in daycares, preschools, and after school programs. Started a teaching degree at RIC, and volunteered in Providence public schools. Later switching my major to Youth development (a social work based study). During that time I was a nanny to several awesome families! And lastly, a trauma counselor for teen girls in residential programming for 5 years! Outside of childcare, I've worked on several farms, and most recently a local food hub! I'm fun, creative & active! Playing is learning! Like to be outside in any weather & whenever possible! Swimming, hiking, biking, running. Comfortable with pets! Patience is KEY! As well as a good toolbox. It's not always rainbows & butterflies, and knowing how to handle the tougher moments makes the difference! Looking for part time hours w/ a great family who have similar values!
