Ryan S. Care Companion in Oak Park, IL 60302

I have 7 years of experience working with seniors, the last three predominantly with seniors living with dementia. In my most recent position as a life enrichment coordinator, I planned a wide range of activities to keep the 20+ residents I was working with active and fulfilled, as well as teaching a multimedia arts class.

I have a bachelor of fine arts degree from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and love using my arts background to create meaningful and enjoyable experiences for the seniors I work with. I have a passion for working with older adults, particularly those with dementia. I am comfortable providing companionship, activity planning, light housework, and meal prep.

I am CPR certified, have taken continuing ed programs in senior care through my previous employer, and recently completed training in Teepa Snow's Positive Approach to Care dementia training program.
