About Clare

Hi! My name is Clare, I am the 5th of a family of 9 kids, and have grown up babysitting my little siblings as well as many other kids from other families since I was about 11. I graduated college in 2021 and have worked as a 7th grade history teacher, track/xc coach, K-8th grade PE coach, as well as serving full time in the Army National Guard. I babysat all through high school and part time in college as well. I worked with children ranging from newborn to 13 years old. My little sister has Down Syndrome so I have a lot of experience with DS kids! I always love to encourage outside active play, as well as reading and crafts, and preferably less TV time. I grew up in the country and surrounded by cats, dogs, chickens, rabbits, cows, horses, and all kinds of pets so I'm perfectly comfortable with animals! Update: my husband and I welcomed our own newborn in October, so my situation is a bit different. Looking for part time where my newborn can stay with me!:)
