Welcoming our newest Pediatric Occupational Therapist to our TEAM -Jill Manasco!

Jill grew up in Melbourne, Florida–where her love of young children and their development blossomed early as she attended and eventually worked at her mother’s Montessori school.

Jill pursued a career in Occupational Therapy when she realized the profession combines all of her interests of teaching, medicine, childhood development and helping people and families.

Jill received a Bachelor of Science in Occupational Therapy from San Jose State University in San Jose, California in December 1999. Jill’s entire career has been focused in pediatrics. In fall of 2000, she moved to the Seattle area where she has experience working at a local private practice clinic before choosing to stay home for a period with her two children. She returned to the field and worked at two local school districts. She has also worked as a teacher in a classroom pre-school for 2-year olds.

In her free time, she can be found attending and cheering on her son and daughter in their respective sports. When they aren’t at the sports fields, they enjoy hiking, camping, water sports, volunteering in their community and baking.

Her passion is helping children reach their greatest potential and educating families to help them reach those potentials. She states “I am excited to be a part of this dynamic team of professionals who share a passion for families, children and their larger communities”.

We are proud to have her as part of our BP&HT Team!
