Cassandra N
PROFESSIONAL CAREGIVER
With over four decades of experience, Cassandra has dedicated her life to providing exceptional care for those who need it most. Her caregiving journey began in 1982 when a transformative visit to a nursing home cemented her understanding of the significant impact she could have on people's lives. Since then, Cassandra has gained extensive expertise, notably in areas such as Alzheimer's, mobility impairment, and post-hospital care. She has also compassionately assisted in hospice care, showcasing her innate ability to provide comfort during the most challenging times.
Those under Cassandra's care often describe her as kind-hearted, easy-going, and thoughtful. Cassandra believes that respecting someone's time is a form of respect; thus, she is always on time, ensuring that her clients never feel neglected.
She sees each of her clients as individuals with their own unique stories, preferences, and requirements. Whether it's playing their favorite music or engaging in conversation, she adds a personal touch that makes all the difference. She believes building a relationship based on trust and compassion can significantly enhance the quality of life for her clients.
When not tending to her clients, Cassandra cherishes spending time with her family. She is also an avid crocheter and would love to share her hobby with her clients. Her extensive years of experience and unwavering commitment make her one of the most sought-after caregivers in her field.
