About Donna
Experience: 10 yrs
COVID-19 vaccinated
I live in Hatfield and am a young 70 yr old. I successfully navigated the kids, careers, pets, ex and aging parents stages of life. I am a retired UMass Amherst business manager; college-educated former beauty salon owner; business analyst; certified end-of-life Doula and activities coordinator extraordinaire! Available for companionship, errands, transportation to appointments & meal preparation. I love to cook. A person I cooked for on a restricted elimination diet said it was like eating gourmet! Flexible, fun-loving, reliable, timely, and conscientious. Will get your loved one out of the house and accompany them to outings for cultural events/concerts/library programs. I drove a school bus & had a commercial drivers license (CDL). Rest assured, your loved one will be safely transported. I'm working towards certification to teach a Healthy Bones & Balance exercise class for seniors. I can help motivate your loved one and assist with a physical therapy-directed routine.

We hired Donna to work with our aunt living at a local Assisted Living in Northampton. Our aunt is aging; 85 years old and had to leave her beloved community in Maine to come live closer to her family. This has been a tough transition; she has struggled with connecting with community and feeling at peace with the move; she also has some memory loss and a seizure disorder. The relationship and connection that Donna has forged with our aunt is amazing; she is attentive, takes her on outings, doctor appointments and shopping for clothes. Our aunt is so happy, trusts her implicitly and we couldn't be more thrilled with the care she provides.
