Danielle Hartley
Recruiting and Client Care Coordinator
Danielle was born and raised in NY before moving to the area in 2017. Here, she met her husband, Chris, and they have 2 beautiful children – Carter and Cameron. She joined the Comfort Keepers team as a caregiver in 2017 as she knew caregiving was her calling. Danielle provided care for others for many years, and always exemplified such compassion and quality care. Seeing clients’ faces light up, sharing intimate moments, and knowing that she could make someone’s day better was extremely rewarding for her and brought her so much joy! After a life changing event, Danielle needed to make a career change to maintain her health and the safety of those she provided care. Nevertheless, we weren’t going to let such an amazing caregiver get away.
In 2021, Danielle was promoted to be our Recruiting and Training Coordinator! She is always looking for caregivers who have that same calling and compassion she does. Additionally, Danielle ensures all caregivers are fully trained on all aspects of being a Comfort Keeper.
