About Cassandra

I'm a friendly person who loves working and helping others. I enjoy helping people with their everyday needs in the comfort of their homes because it's rewarding knowing what I do for my clients make a real difference for each of my clients. I have always enjoyed taking care of people every since I was young. My father was 100 percent disabled from the Vietnam War, and he had many medical issues in which I helped him with on a daily basis. Unfortunately, he pasted away from cancer in 2012, but I know taking care of him for many years helped him in many different ways. What I enjoy most about being a caregiver is knowing I'm making a difference in someone's life. Knowing because of me my client is able to stay in their homes and still try to live a normal life. I also enjoy not only being a caregiver but a friend and maybe even a part of their family. Many clients I have had in the past I still communicate with and it makes me happy. The achievement that I'm proud about is becoming a certified HHA because I can now take the personal experience I have learned with my father, and the experience I learned being an aide for a the companies I was employed at and use that to help other people in need.

I am a very sociable person with great compassion and passion of giving care.I am graduating next Monday as an Licenced practical Nurse. With my transition from a home health Aide to a Practical Nurse I have received vast knowledge ,skills and experience in the field which improves my quality of care .I am gifted with patience ,understanding and kindness which everyone admires and commends me for.Out of a personal experience,I drew the passion to give to care having being the only able person available to take care of my ailing grandmother with a terminal illness till her final days.It brought out a side of compassion and empathy in me I didn't know existed and it boosted my spirit of continuing with my nursing career for a lifetime.I enjoy when I am able to meet my goals of client interaction benefits and wellness,getting to interact with clients of all walks of nature and sharing appropriate lifetime experiences with my clients and bringing out the best in them.A moment I am really proud of is during my clinical experience in a particular nursing home,I was the only one as a student who was able to use therapeutic communication to bring back a patient who was buried in depression over loss of a significant other.Through talk compassion and a lot of understanding,I helped the patient open up,talk his heart out,start eating again as well as take medications again of which he had completely refused after learning of the loss of the significant other.Family is forever grateful for that deed.I am a certified Home Health Aide,CPR and First Aid certified,I am also a certified Mandated reporter.
