Honoree Donna: October Caregiver of the Month

Assisting Hands Rockford is so proud to honor Donna as October Caregiver of the Month. Donna came to us with lots of experience. She has worked as a caregiver, office personal and a private duty caregiver in her spare time. She is such a hard-working person and is always willing to lend a hand. Donna has a heart of gold and is extremely on top of reporting to her shifts, picking up other shifts to help the team out and is excellent in her communication.  We’ve learned that Donna is an amazing cook and is extremely efficient when it comes to doing laundry and housekeeping. We normally tell our clients we assist with light housekeeping, but Donna takes it to a whole new level. She’s had many compliments from various clients praising her for her work ethic.

It is such a blessing to have someone like Donna on our team.  She embodies all the qualities that we look for in the ideal caregiver. We are so honored she chose to join our Assisting Hands Rockford family.
