Hi, I'm Donna and I'm from the Cayman Islands. I am a full-time nanny, certified baby nurse, and special-needs caregiver. I am also friendly, outgoing, honest, energetic and hardworking. I have worked with four families over the past 16 years, having helped raise 5 newborns. And my experience working with a beautiful young girl with autism for three years has brought much richness to my life. I worked with the young girl with special needs from the time she was two years old. I worked closely with her OT on her swallowing reflex and helped her with her muscle tone every day for three years. In the same household was a newborn which underscores my ability to multitask and to command complex situations with patience and finesse. I am looking to partner with a respectful, loving family. Qualifications: certified baby nurse; completed first-aid training Experience: working with babies and special-needs Read more children Testimonial from former employer and more recommendations available upon request: "Donna took care of our son for the first 3 years of his life, from the day I went back to work until we moved away from New York City. We hired her because of the kindness in her eyes, the strong recommendation of her previous employer of 9 years, and the fact that she was the only person we interviewed who got down on the floor with our son during her interview. There is nothing Donna can't handle: she is CPR certified and has incredible instincts in all kinds of situations. She is patient with all types of children and since we left the city has been caring for 2 sisters, one of whom has special needs. She helped foster relationships between our son and other kids his age at the playground and took initiative setting up play dates with other families. She always followed our lead on parenting style and preferences, but had lots of good ideas for various issues we might be dealing with based on her experience with the other kids she had worked with. I trusted her implicitly in our home. I really can't say enough about Donna…the next family that gets her will be so very lucky!!!" -- Alyson C.
