A little bit about me

My name is Marilyn Herrera Jiménez. I am originally from Ecuador and have been living in the United States for nearly four years. I am an organized, responsible, and punctual person, with a genuine passion for working with children. Back in my home country, alongside my academic and professional activities, I had the opportunity to care for three children in a dedicated and responsible way. I also worked as a teacher for children and teenagers in different educational institutions, where I developed patience, creativity, and strong skills to guide learning and provide meaningful support. In addition, I am a writer and have published two books especially dedicated to children, which reflect my vocation and commitment to their growth and development.

More About Me

Relevant experience where I also cared for children were...

Relevant experience where I also cared for children was during my time as a university professor and community program coordinator. In those roles, I organized educational activities, supervised youth projects, and created safe, engaging environments for learning. Additionally, through my volunteer and family care experiences, I have supported children of different ages by helping with homework, organizing group activities, and ensuring their well-being.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I enjoy doing activities that are both fun and educational, such as reading stories, doing arts and crafts, playing outdoor games, and exploring nature. I also like cooking simple recipes together, singing songs, and encouraging imaginative play, since these activities help children learn new skills while having fun.

The most important part about being a nanny...

The most important part about being a nanny is creating a safe, nurturing, and positive environment where children can grow and feel supported.

My experience with special needs children...

My experience with special needs children has taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and individualized care. I understand that every child has unique strengths and challenges, so I focus on adapting activities to their needs, offering encouragement, and creating a supportive environment. I also value close communication with parents to ensure consistency and to follow any specific guidance or routines that benefit the child.

The most important part about being a nanny...

My favorite nanny moment was when a child I cared for finally learned to read a short story out loud on their own. We had been practicing together for weeks, and seeing their pride and excitement in that moment reminded me why I love working with children—because every small milestone feels like a big victory.
