Hello! My name is Mika (pronounced Me-kah) and I am a native of Seattle, Washington. I graduated from Gonzaga University with a Bachelor's Degree in Special Education and an endorsement in Early Childhood Special Education. I hold a Master’s degree in Special Education and Applied Behavior Analysis from the University of Washington. I am also a Board Certified Behavior Analyst and have extensive experience working with children with Autism Spectrum Disorder and other developmental disabilities. I am CPR and First Aid certified. I have been caring for children for over 10 years primarily ages birth to 15 years. I love creating fun crafts for kids, following their interest and lead in play, helping with meal prep and/or bedtime routines. I would love to help out if you need a sitter for a date night, wedding or other event, or just to run errands!
