About Dekka

Experience: 5 yrs

Hi there! I have been wearing various caregiving hats for the last 4 years and have worked with the elderly, special needs, and children. I am back with care. com because I have recently returned back to school for my Master's in Occupational Therapy. I have been working full time as a pediatric occupational therapy assistant and continue to work PRN both with kiddos and in subacute rehab with our aging population. I also have been working as a paid and unpaid caregiver/companion to the elderly on a weekly basis for the last 4 years. I have experience with ASD, ADHD, Down Syndrome, and other DD/ID's between the ages of 1-95 years old. I am very active and love playing volleyball, climbing, skating, pilates, and the arts!
