Hello!

My name is Cassidy Jo and I am recent graduate of the University of Iowa. During my time there, I studied Neuroscience and Psychology, worked part-time as a Human Resources professional and volunteered within the Stead Family Children's Hospital.

Personality Traits: Friendly, Engaging, Reliable

Skills: Housekeeping, Crafts, Education, Meal Prepping, Organization

Qualifications: First Aid/CPR Experience, Class B CDL License

I hope you consider me as a caregiver for your little one! Please let me know if there is anything else you would like to know about me. :)
