Julie L. Care Companion in Chicago, IL 60625

I believe our greatest need is to feel a sense of belonging and connection. The process of finding the right caregiver for yourself or your loved one can be stressful and I am here to help!
I have over 14 years combined experience serving individuals with a special need, physical, and/or medical challenges. My service began at the age of 12 when I volunteered at a rehabilitation facility, caring for individuals recovering from severe physical and medical trauma. I continued to develop my volunteer career, serving those suffering from a broad range of mental illnesses, addictions, medical and physical challenges in hospitals, schools, shelters and non-profits in the diverse populaces of Chicago and Los Angeles. My caregiving abilities have developed into clinical skills, and I now work full time as an ABA therapist, treating children with the diagnosis of autism, while simultaneously pursuing my masters in clinical counseling. *I am currently seeking occasional, weekend caregiving employment.*
Previous employers, friends and family have described me as: empathetic, funny and dependable.
I look forward to hearing from you!
