Profile for Dr. Monica Garnett

Monica is a qualified Kinderkineticist/Pediatric Occupational Therapist from the University of the Free State in South Africa. Bachelors degree in Human Movement Science & Post-graduation in Kinderkinetics/ Pediatric Occupational Therapy. Pediatric Occupational Therapy is a new field of study specializing in gross and fine motor development in children aged 0-13 years.

Monica knew from a very young age she wanted to work with children. She started volunteer work at an Orphanage in South Africa from the young age of 16 years. She realized then the support which was needed in such organizations and furthered her career in child care.
