About Lily

I recently moved to Chicago to be closer to friends and am eager to start work in my new community. My background includes teaching at the high school and college level, so tutoring comes easily for me. But I am also a caregiver - for both humans and fur babies. Growing up in a large family (my father had 12 siblings), over the years I would set aside time to care for family members when they fell ill: driving to appointments, managing their accounts, hiring additional help, preparing their meals, etc. My experience includes those with Alzheimer's, dementia, diabetes and Parkinson's. (And I can cook, too!) In addition, I also cared for a 99-year-old stranger I found hitchhiking on the side of the road. Because he had no family, I eventually became his legal representative and cared for him until he passed. As a pet owner, I have been mommy to several fur babies, including a diabetic cat who lived to be 18. I look forward to helping you.
