About Jeanette

I started off being a care giver when my mother got sick. I was shown by Nurses how to care for someone that was in the last stages of their life. Later I was informed of a opening in the area of caring for those with Intellectual Disabilities in a work setting. After getting the job I remained employed with the company for 26 years. My job took me on many different rolls from Direct Personal Care Staff to being a Team Manager. I have the desire and confidence to serve others. I am a Team Player and have the ability to make decisions on my own following set guide lines to enhance the lives of others. I have had great repors with those that present Challenging Behaviors.

Hello! I'm Cassaundra! I use to be in the hospitality industry until Covid-19 started, I decided to not go back. I started working at Home Instead Senior Care at the end of 2020 and quickly discovered it was the best decision of my life! I'm on this earth to be of service, heal and nurture, it brings me pure joy! I have a background in nursing but did not complete the program. I'm at a point now in my life where I'm ready to continue my education and get my CNA and work up from there. I am a certified personal care assistant (PCA) and have worked with individuals with TBIs as well as children and young adults with developmental and intellectual disabilities. I'm also CPR/First Aid certified, and have extensive knowledge of food safety, and experience in cleaning/organizing (work for two maids and a mop, as well as Koontz condo cleaning service.) I'm also spiritual and have natural healing abilities and have been told on many occasions that I have huge healing energy as well as general physical energy. I'm bubbly and have a bright and optimistic outlook on life. I'm known to make my clients laugh! I will be an asset to any team because caregiving doesn't feel like work to me, I absolutely enjoy it, I'm great at it and I have open availability (no kids, unmarried) so I'll be all yours and truly dedicated. Thank you for your time and consideration!
