About Clare

Experience: 10 yrs

I am an occupational therapist and former special education teacher with 15 years of experience working in childcare. I love kids and have experience with multiple age groups, including Pre-K and infants. In my free time I enjoy art & design and I am an avid reader and animal lover. I'm hoping to find the right family and a schedule that supports us both. Please reach out if you have questions or if it sounds like l'd be the right fit for your family. Take care!

Clare has been so helpful to our family, and our two school-aged boys (and our dog!) love spending time with her! She has helped our family after school and on snow days and other times school is closed. Clare has been very dependable and reliable. We are so glad we found her!
