Hunterdon Isr With Certified instructor Clare Parente
About Us
My name is Clare Parente. I was born and raised in Hunterdon County, New Jersey. Since 1999, I have been lucky enough to reside in the beautiful town of Clinton with my husband and our five children. I took time off as an elementary school teacher to raise my family but then returned to the classroom as a preschool teacher's assistant. Although I loved my job and the daily interactions with my "little people", I felt I was missing something. I wanted a career where I could give back to the community more. Then a family member introduced me to ISR. I felt a calling to become part of the ISR community immediately. Starting with the mission statement "not one more child drowns," to the comprehensive training program, and support from the ISR team, I knew that bringing this program to Hunterdon County was for me. I completed my training in February, 2022 as a certified ISR instructor and look forward to providing babies and children in my community with the skills to become confident and safe in and around the water.
