About Cassie

I'ma caregiver . It's what I feel I was meant to be. I was the caregiver to my mother who has had medical issues sense I was in high school . Which I maintained a job , going to school and being the caregiver of my mother and the household for years. After years of working dead-end jobs I finally realized my passion to be a caregiver. My life experiences had motivated me to be a mindful person to others and considerate. This is the first time I've felt proud to tell people what I do for a living. My goal is to do in home care or overnight hospice/palliative care. I've been told by many that it's a horrible and depressing job to but I find it to be the biggest honor to be the support system and caregiver to someone during one of life's most personal moments .which is passing on. The way I entered this field was just being a housekeeper on the floor of a senior living facility when I was promoted to a overnight caregiver . My superior was impressed by my ability to go above and beyond my tasks when requested or needed such as assisting staff moving a resident into their room and being alongside maintenance to take care of a massive flood in the basement of the facility . One of the biggest moments for example there was a day when a resident had gone outside on a cold winter day and slipped On ice resulting in a fall. A hospice nurse luckily found the resident and helped them of the ground and to their feet . I had witnessed the situation and was proactive rushing outside to guide the resident back inside .Holding their hand and retrieved staff to evaluate the resident immediately. All in all I'm a reliable and dedicated person in all aspects of my life. At home and at work.

What makes me a great care giver is that, I have the ability to listen to my client concerns and find ways to assist them. I am a great listener, an advocator and I get alone with people very well. I like treating my clients as people not object. Their happiness comes first. I became a caregiver because i feel like it is my calling. My passion for this field is something extraordinary. I grew up seeing so many family members suffered traumatically. Many of them faced a lot of psychological issues. I felt like it was my responsibility to go out there and learn the tools so I can direct them to a better path. What I like about being a caregiver is to see my clients smile alone with any other person I come across. I love making a difference into their lives. I love building rappor with them do they can trust me. A personal achievement I am proud of is having my daughter.
