Ms. Melanie Baker is a minor/supporting character in Clarence. She is Clarence's teacher at Aberdale Elementary. Her appearance is heavily based on a prototype from the "Pilot" was Mrs. Bernstein.

Ms. Baker is very talkative and tends to talk quickly. She is a very patient teacher (putting up with Clarence and his classmates as they cause all sorts of minor problems), but is easily overwhelmed. She is a cat-lover and owns at least one (she has a mug with their picture on it and also a framed picture of the two of them on her desk). She is also shown to be a kind and caring teacher.
