Hi, my name is Melissa Alvarez, and I am 26 years. I’m a college graduate. I grew up in New York City and I’m very familiar with Manhattan, Staten island and Brooklyn. I have three younger siblings, so I always grew up taking care of younger children. Some things I like are Disney, reading books, and running. I am a very organized and detail-oriented person. I have been working with children since I was 17 years old. My past jobs include being a substitute para for many children of different age groups and a camp counselor for pre-k. I also became a head counselor for two years for 3rd-grade girls. As for babysitting, my past experiences include caring for a 3-year-old boy. Please message me for references.
