Special needs adult care in Highland Park, IL
I was a live in care giver and life manager for a young adult with Down syndrome for 6 years. Previously I was a house manager for busy household with 2 homes to care and manage in the city and suburbs. Love to care for others and lighten the load on parents!
I worked for families over 20 years as a nanny and I would like to try another opportunity, take care for elderly people, so I have not any experience with them, but I would like to became a care giver.
