Hi! I'm a University of Michigan graduate and currently in-progress with my Doctorate of Occupational Therapy at Tufts University. I've had 8 years of experience working with children of all ages and abilities. I have worked with children ages 6 weeks and up, provided transportation, mother's helper role, and overnight care. Additionally, I have 7 years of experience working with children with autism and other developmental disabilities. I plan to accept a job in pediatric Occupational Therapy this fall. I am CPR/First Aid certified, up to date on vaccinations, and have plenty of references to share. My rate for occasional and part-time sitting begins $15/hour for 2 or less children. 2 children, overnight care, pickup/dropoff, and additional childcare situations can be negotiated. At this time, I have very flexible availability as I am currently working on research remote, with capacity to accept part-time, occasional, and recurring positions.
