Meet Clare

- Comfortable with pets
- Has a car
I am a certified special education teacher with 13 years of experience working in childcare. I recently left my functional life skills teaching position at Gorham Middle School so that I could attend graduate school to study pediatric occupational therapy. I love kids and have experience with multiple age groups - I even taught preschool for a spell! My passion is working with children and adolescents with disabilities and their families. 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 I'd be the right fit for your family. Take care!
