Howdy All! My name is Sarah Morton and I have been a BHP for four different families since 2013. I kind of stumbled onto being a BHP when I graduated from USM with a degree in Social Work and didn’t know what I wanted to do. I have stuck with it since. Not only am I a BHP I am also a Special Ed Tech III in Saco Schools full-time. I love the challenges I face ( the good, the bad, easy and hard) with the families that I have had
the opportunity to watch grow and thrive. I have learned SO much from the kiddos who always have lots to give and I truly believe being a BHP has shaped a part of who I am today. Outside of work I am learning to do more self care. I love to play soccer, play the piano (and learn other instruments), be by the ocean and spend time with friends and family. Life throws you many lessons! Peace and Love.

My final goal is to become a therapist and a Christian counselor. In this season of my life, I am finding great joy/fulfilment working with the youth both here at CATT and at my local church as the youth pastor.
