About Cassie

Hi my name is Cassie. I am a caregiver (CNA) because I am passionate about helping others and caring for people who are incapable of caring for themselves another reason is because my mother was diagnosed with cancer (ALS) when I was 12 years old and my sister and I cared for her until we couldn't do it by ourselves anymore due to the right side of her body being paralyzed so unfortunately we had to put her in a nursing home where she could receive 24 hr care. At that point our trust was put into the nurses and CNA's at that facility. I was 16 when she passed and that is when I realized I wanted to make caring for others a career and I absolutely love it!!

What makes me a great caregiver is that I love to help improve the daily lives of those whom cannot necessarily do it on their own, I fell in love with caregiving while I was taking care of my mother while she was in need. I like the idea of being needed in someone's life. And making the job more than just a paycheck I like to have a good connection with people that gets them comfortable with me.
