Name is Maria Victoria Ruiz and I am Hispanic with 5 children of my own. Been a nanny for the past 3-4 years and been a mom for 34 years so I know how hard it can be at times. I'm 54 and live in Pasadena, tx. I believe the one thing that a care giver needs above all else is organization and patience. Children need to have a sense of stability, but also need to be allowed to have a bit of freedom in their own actions as well. A successful caregiver needs to be able to give individual attention to each child, and then also as a group, making each child feels special. Naturally, every family is different and every child reacts differently- so I believe friendship is key. Gaining the trust and respect of the child is most important... If a child doesn't respect you, they rarely Read more listen to you. I don't believe in anger, violence, or threats to force children into behaving, most children simply desire to feel like that you respect them. Individual, one on one attention that makes them feel that you understand them. To me, that's the trick in a multiple child household.
