Hi families! My name is Arelis Mendoza, though I’ve gone by Chica my whole life. I’m a college-educated caregiver with nearly a decade of experience caring for children from newborns to school-aged. I’m graduating in May 2025 with my bachelor’s degree and am currently pursuing my MBA online during non-working hours. I’m seeking a full-time, live-in nanny position during my gap year away from campus where I can bring structure, warmth, and reliability to a family’s home. Why I Love Being a Sitter I love being part of a child’s world—helping them feel seen, supported, and safe through meaningful daily routines and playful, enriching experiences. Whether we’re exploring outdoors, learning something new, or calming down for bedtime, I aim to be a consistent, emotionally grounded presence that children and parents alike can rely on. I thrive in caregiving because I truly love helping children grow with confidence, creativity, and care. Read more Experience I Bring My background includes both private nanny work and professional experience in early education settings. I’ve developed lesson plans, supported children with learning differences, and maintained daily routines including meals, naps, and developmental tracking. I’ve handled overnight newborn care, school pick-ups, homework help, sibling conflict resolution, and household management during solo care. Families have often trusted me with long-term, high-responsibility roles thanks to my maturity, consistency, and ability to connect. Skills & Training I’m certified in Pediatric CPR and First Aid and have extensive training in areas such as emergency preparedness, safe sleep practices, nutrition and choking prevention, supervision, medication administration, and inclusive caregiving. I’m fully immunized (with documentation), a non-smoker, have a valid driver’s license, clean driving record, and my own insured vehicle. I’m confident managing household tasks, supporting behavior guidance, and creating screen-free, developmentally enriching routines tailored to each child. Interests That Enrich My Work I have a background in music (voice and flute) and often incorporate rhythm and movement into play and transitions. I also enjoy reading, baking, cooking, hiking, soccer, arts & crafts, yoga, and mindfulness practices—interests I love sharing with children to spark creativity and connection. I value emotional growth just as much as academic development and bring a well-rounded, joyful approach to the caregiving experience.

Trust & safety
