Clare Vashon

Hello there! My name is Clare - I’m a female identifying 26 year old currently living on Vashon Island. After recently returning from working at the local clinic on San Juan Island this winter, and teaching English to elementary students in Spain last fall, I’m looking forward to spending this spring in my hometown before beginning a Doctorate of Nurse Practitioner program at Seattle U in June. With a professional history of 3 years at Seattle Children’s Hospital working as a nursing assistant, supporting a Montessori preschool in north Seattle after graduating from UW in 2022, and extensive childcare experience throughout high school, I’m excited to be able to support another wonderful family. I am CPR certified for infants, children and adults, have experience working on a small organic farm with goats and chickens, and am fully licensed to drive with a personal vehicle as well as a current Washington State CNA license for more extensive care needs. I’m so happy to provide more information about myself and my background as desired, and I so look forward to sharing and connecting!
