Marcos Cantu, Life Skills Instructor

Craig Wissmiller“It makes me feel good when the children are receptive to my help and support. I hope to continue building relationships with the participants here at Little City."

Marcos Cantu has been with Little City as a Life Skills Instructor for just under a year. Throughout his time here his presence has been remarkable. Marcos serves as a floater, which gives him the opportunity to work in all the children’s group homes on campus.  As a Life Skills Instructor, Marcos teaches individuals daily living skills such as cooking, cleaning, organization and more. He also works with individuals on a 1:1 basis, engaging children in activities. Marcos enjoys helping children improve their verbal skills and has even taught an individual who is nonverbal how to say his name. He likes that he is able to interact and build meaningful relationships with the individuals at Little City. Previously, Marcos worked as a DSP in Streamwood.
