I will tidy up and perform some light housework. You will always come home to a calm, clean environment, so all you will need to do is relax.

Hello, my name is Mariah Alvarez. I am thirty one years old. I am a full-time SECA (Special Education Classroom Assistant) working for CPS (Chicago Public Schools). Before I started my CPS career, I worked for several years as a nanny for two amazing families who I still keep in touch with! I have experience with special needs and medical needs. I also have a younger sister (23 years old) who has special needs. Through caring for her is where my love and passion grew with wanting to work in special education. She is my muse and the reason why I chose working in Special Education. I have experience with all age groups! I like to dedicate my time to being of service to children/people who need help. I like to teach independence as much as possible, all while guiding and making learning fun. I love to plan play dates! Anything that involves being outside and going around the beautiful city that we live in, is a must (weather permitting of course)! I am looking to work full-time for the summer. Please feel free to reach out if you feel like I'd be a good fit to work with your family. Thank you for your time and consideration.
