Janet Babu, M.S. OTR/L
Founder & Pediatric Occupational Therapist
Hey! My name is Janet Babu and I am the founder and owner of Happy Days Pediatric Therapy. I am originally from New Jersey and moved to Georgia for occupational therapy school. I earned my Bachelor of Arts from Dominican College in 2018 and my Master of Science from Brenau University in 2020.
I’ve always had a passion for working with children. Growing up, I began as a babysitter, discovering early on how rewarding it is to support kids as they learn and grow. That experience led me to become an assistant teacher at The Goddard School, where I further developed my skills in creating nurturing and engaging environments for young learners. Today, I’m proud to continue that journey as an occupational therapist, helping children build the confidence and abilities in their skills needed to thrive in their everyday lives.
I enjoy being an occupational therapist because I find joy helping patients build skills to increase their independence with play skills and activities of daily living. I also believe in building rapport with the child and family; as well as working together as a team to increase the child’s overall quality of life.
I have experience working as an occupational therapist in the public school system, private outpatient clinic and early intervention. I work with children with Cerebral Palsy, Autism Spectrum Disorder, Down Syndrome, ADHD, sensory processing disorder, hemiparesis, learning disabilities, neurological disorders, and etc.. I currently have my certifications in Therapeutic Listening & Dynamic Movement Intervention (DMI) Intro Level A.

Tzipora Iskhakov, M.S. OTR/L
Pediatric Occupational Therapist
Hey! I’m Tzipora, and I earned my Master’s degree in Occupational Therapy from York College in New York City in 2016. I fell in love with pediatric occupational therapy right away and have been working with children with a wide range of diagnoses, including autism, developmental delay, Down syndrome, sensory processing challenges, and more.
You’ll usually find me working with kids on the mat in the play gym. I strongly believe that children learn best through play and movement, and I strive to create fun, engaging sessions that support each child’s unique strengths while helping them build essential skills for everyday life.
When I’m not working, I enjoy spending time with my family (I’m a mom of two little kids), reading a good book, watching a show, going on nature walks or trying out a new restaurant.

Raizel Brownstein, OTD, OTR/L
Pediatric Occupational Therapist
Hi! I'm Raizy and I earned my Doctorate in Occupational Therapy (OTD) from Brenau University in 2025. Working with children has been a consistent and meaningful part of my life, from working at summer camps to teaching preschool through elementary aged children, and other child-focused roles. During my clinical training, I gained experience in both school-based and outpatient settings, which gave me the opportunity to work with children with a variety of needs and in different environments.
​
I believe that regulation is the foundation for a child’s ability to learn, grow, and engage in the world around them. When children feel regulated, safe, and ready to engage, they are better able to learn, participate, build skills, and reach their potential. I am passionate about meeting each child where they are and helping them develop the skills and confidence they need to thrive.
​
Outside of work, I am a mom of four and love spending time with my family and friends. I enjoy reading, being in nature, and having family and friends over in our home. I also love to travel and experience the beauty of the world, always looking for new places and experiences.
