April’s Bio

My name is April Velcich and I reside on the south side of Chicago Midway area where I live with my husband, dog and rabbit. I am a Certified Occupational Therapy Assistant in the state of illinois and my joys are working with geriatrics and pediatrics. Proving therapy services is my specialty, but with all the insurance rules and beurocracy I want to venture out and provide my true passion without all the paperwork and time constraints. My real passion lies in human interaction and being a support system for individuals to live their best lives as independently and safely as possible.
