Hello!! My name is Claire. I have been working with children for as long as I can remember! I graduated from the University of Oregon in June 2023 with a psychology degree. I plan to get a higher degree in Child and Adolescent Mental Health. I have always loved children, and my degree has helped me see the impact that strong and healthy childcare can have on development. Throughout my undergraduate studies, I worked in a children's center. From October 2023 to August 2024, I was the lead toddler teacher at a childcare facility. Additionally, I have been a weekly volunteer for Seattle Public Schools for the past four months. I value letting children express themselves, keeping playtime fun, and creating a space where children can feel comfortable sharing how they are feeling and trusting that their caregiver can support them. I am a fun, loving, considerate, and compassionate person Read more who can mold to whatever the child needs in a given situation. I hope to make a positive impact on every child I work with. My future aspirations stem from the hope that children can develop in a positive way with the right tools and support. I plan to utilize higher education as a chance to work with intervention and prevention sciences to aid families who struggle with developmental, physical, mental, or behavioral disabilities. Every child deserves the resources they need to flourish. I would love to hear from you if you think I would be a good fit for your family. My best wishes to all who read this! Thank you for your time.
