I worked as an Occupational Therapy school based Pediatric therapist for 25 years. Throughout my profession, I have had the opportunity to work with many different children & their families. I retired and still had a passion to utilize my skills on a part time basis. I lived in Bend Oregon before moving to South Orange county. There, I worked part time with a 6-year-old with cognitive challenges and a severe speech disorder. I helped with school work, took her to therapy appointments and went on community excursions with her. My goal is to find a child & family that is a good fit to help part time. I definitely have a knack for connecting with children that have special needs. I am married and love anything outdoors. I play Pickleball, try to golf, and like to hike. I love music, art, and time at the beach. Please reach out if I sound like a good fit & we can always try a meet & greet. I can provide a recent reference from my previous job. Thank you, Marie
