Whether you are interviewing for a nanny job or hiring a nanny, it’s a good idea to review sample interview questions so you can prepare in advance for the interview.
The most important questions will revolve around the skills, education and experience that are essential to do the job well. Other questions include availability for work, the tasks that need to be done on the job, how to handle children in difficult situations and emergencies, and childcare philosophy.
It’s important that both the nanny and the parent(s) have a similar approach to raising children, so the children are treated consistently.
For both nannies and parents, one of the most important criteria is that there is a good match between the nanny and the family. The more questions that are asked during the interview, the more you will learn about each other and the easier it will be to make a hiring decision. In addition, setting up a time for the applicant to meet with the children prior to offering the job to see how the nanny and child(ren) interact is another way to help determine if there is a good fit for all.
