A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Mariah Martell. I’m 26 years old and have experience working as a tutor, paraeducator, and teacher for students with extensive support needs. I’m currently pursuing my teaching credential and hope to continue on to a master’s program in the future.
In my free time, I love being outdoors, going on walks, enjoying beautiful views, and spending time with family and friends. I’m a huge animal lover and share my home with three cats, one dog, and a fish. I also enjoy caring for plants and creating a peaceful, welcoming environment. I’m compassionate, dependable, and love helping others learn, grow, and succeed.

I also enjoy outdoor play like parks, scavenger hunts, and simple nature walks, as well as helping with homework and creative learning activities.

My experience with special needs children...

Experienced teacher with 7+ years supporting children in educational settings, including 3 years as a full-time elementary special education teacher and additional experience in middle and high school special education programs.

I bring a calm, patient, and structured approach to caregiving and enjoy creating a safe, engaging environment where children feel supported and understood.
