An interview can be nerve-wracking for anyone in any field. If you are interviewing for a nanny position, you should be prepared for the many questions that may be asked of you. Many parents who are interviewing a potential nanny may even have a nanny question checklist that they will write your answers down on. You can prepare in advance for questions that may come up, especially questions from checklists. Be prepared to answer the following, the more prepared you are the better!

·     What do you think children like best about you?

·     What kind of activities will you do with children this age?

·     How do you handle problems that arise behaviorally and emotionally with kids this age?

·     What is the most important aspect of a nanny position?

·     Can you tell me how you would handle getting kids ready for school, such as feeding, dressing, etc and getting them to school on time?

·     When would you call 911? When would you simply call the doctor?

·     Do you cook? Will you do some house cleaning?

·     Would you be willing to attend more child development classes?

•   Are you willing to take CPR/First class?

By being prepared for any potential questions an interview goes much smoother!
