A nanny interview is prime time to garner as much information as you can about a nanny’s experience. The nanny interview is also a time you can get to know the candidate better. When you’re conducting the interview, keep focused on learning several key points. Here’s what you should keep in mind.

1)   When conducting the nanny interview, remember you're gauging not whether this person is an excellent nanny, but whether she would fit in well in your household.

2)   When asking questions about her experience, think about whether her experience is what you’re looking for and whether she seems knowledgeable about children in the age range of your own child.

3)   Assess how reliable you think the nanny will be, how well you think she’ll interact with your child and whether you feel you trust her with your child’s care.

4)   Determine what the nanny’s interest in her career is and whether her future goals coincide with your needs.
