Cassie was a great find for our family! She is caring, responsible, and very calm, which was an asset when my twin boys were being extra challenging! Cassie is great in stressful situations. She knows what to do and doesn't get flustered. She loved my children like they were her own...what more could a mother ask for?! My children love her and get so excited to see her! She is a stellar sitter!
