|
I am 22 years old and am currently studying for a Bachelor of Occupational Therapy at La Trobe University. I have been supporting clients as a support worker for the past 4 years, I have worked with children with a disability as young as 12 months and ranging up to 4 years old where my roles included personal care, dressing, feeding, light housework, physiotherapy, and speech therapy. I started babysitting when I was 16 years old for a family with three children where I would get them ready for school and drop them off.
In my study of occupational therapy, I have had a school-based placement as well as a placement with a pediatric OT Northern Health. I have my Certificate III in Allied Health Assistance and my Certificate III in Health Services Assistance.
