Erin W. - Chicago Special Needs Caregiver

Profile of Erin W.

Full-Time, 6 Years of Experience

I was periodically, as needed, responsible to take care of a young boy who was blind, mentally handicapped, and had difficulty moving around by himself. I worked with the family when called upon while I was living in proximity to them. If I think I can advocate for someone who is in need, I will often try t o do so, because I know that sometimes that is all a person needs to heal, and grow.
Related Hobbies and Interests
I volunteer at a grade school, as well as at a high school as an art coordinator. I also volunteer as a Douala with the Night Ministry.
