Interviewing Preparation

The first interview may take the form of a telephone interview, where the family will want to get a general feel for you as a nanny and assess your suitability. We then recommend that you meet up. We are happy to email photographs, and can arrange a video conference too. For UK based positions we do recommend more than one interview, the second being more in-depth and with the children so the family can see how well you interact.

Suggestions for questions that you may be asked during the interview

1

If you are qualified you may be asked if you enjoyed the course and if you have found it helpful, since you started work.

2

Are you confident with what to do in an emergency situation. What would you do if baby was choking?

3

Why do you enjoy being a nanny?

4

Explain a little about the routine you would set for a small baby and how you would develop it.

8
