About Cassandra

I would love to support your family by being a caregiver to your mother. Caregiving for older individuals is my life's passion. I graduated from Georgetown University having studied caregiving and spent time on a chaplaincy team at a hospice. I am currently going back to school at Georgetown for a pre-medical program so that I may apply to medical school and be a psychiatrist for older patients. I have experience as a caregiver to a gentleman with specials needs and loved the experience becoming a part of his family and making their days easier. I have volunteer experience as a companion to elderly patients as well, visiting patients weekly on behalf of Capital Caring.
