Hello! My name is Mika and I am a Seattle native, attended college at Gonzaga University with a Bachelor's Degree in Special Education and endorsement in Early Childhood Special Education. I received a Master’s Degree from the University of Washington in Special Education and Applied Behavior Analysis. I am a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) and have worked with children with Autism Spectrum Disorder, Down Syndrome, Dravet Syndrome and other developmental disabilities for over 8 years. I am CPR and First Aid certified. I have taught Early Childhood Special Education, worked in clinical settings at Seattle Children’s Hospital and UW Autism Center, and provided in home care. I love creating fun crafts for kids to do or just taking a walk to the park! Due to my schedule, I am looking to help out if you need a sitter for date night, special event, or just to run some errands!
