How to Answer Nanny Interview Questions
The growth of a child is one of the most important tasks handled by a parent. It is the parents' duty to ensure that the child is taken care of properly. Some parents appoint nannies for childcare. A nanny is a person who takes care of the child by maintaining cleanliness, feeding at proper times, giving medicine, teaching and training.
The parent generally conducts a nanny interview where the parent poses questions regarding childcare. A nanny should be polite, caring, having a love for children and possess experience in the job. Nannies should not have vices such as smoking. Parents expect nannies to be healthy.
A nanny interview consists of questions related to job experience. Candidates should answer these questions with experience gained from current and previous jobs. Patience is a commonly expected feature. Wrong information or information that can create a negative impression can ruin your chance. Successful experience in training children should be a part of the answers.
