I am 26 years old with a graduate degree in Occupational Therapy and an undergraduate degree in Psychology/Human Development. I just finished graduate school with an internship at Lurie Children's Hospital, where I provided occupational therapy services to children with various diagnoses including autism, cerebral palsy, sensory processing issues, Down Syndrome, various congenital disorders, etc. I am looking to work part-time (very flexible with hours) while I study for my licensure exam. Prior to this, I worked as an Early Interventionist doing therapy with 0-3-year-old children who had special needs. I also have a ton of nannying/babysitting experience with kids of all ages. I am a highly motivated individual with great social skills, a positive attitude, and a love for children. Let me know if you have any questions or would like me to provide a resume, I would love to hear back from you!
