Hello. My name is Kara, born and raised in Seattle. I am currently in school working towards an Occupational Therapy Assistant program, hoping to specialize in pediatrics. I currently work part time at a pediatric occupational therapy clinic where I spend all day working with children who have developmental or sensory disorders. We work and play with kids to nurture self-confidence and emotional regulation. I have experience with a wide range of personalities when it comes to children. I love working with kids and watching them learn as they begin to understand the world. I also have experience as a personal assistant to a retired professor. The requirements of this job included grocery shopping, cooking, cleaning, gardening as well as various office tasks.
