The Franklin Family & their au pair Julius

Julius joined our family in Oct 2015, and there was an immediate connection. Our oldest child, Chamberlain, has special needs and that was one of our focused needs when finding the right person to join our family. Julius jumped right in and hasn’t looked back. He tries to provide Chamberlain with an experience just as any typical kid would have, which is not an easy feat all of the time. Our second son, Sullivan, spends most of his days with Julius, and they have created such an incredible bond. This past year has been quite a whirlwind for our family, and having Julius here has been invaluable. Julius has been extremely affable about all the changes and always willing to jump in and help or just be there if needed. Julius is a part of our family and will always be. We look forward to the rest of his time here, as we continue to make memories and spend time together.
