During a nanny interview, it’s important to get a clear understanding of who the nanny candidate is, if they’ll be a good fit for your family, and how capable they are of fulfilling your requirements.
We suggest you prepare a list of interview questions ahead of the interviews, so that you can cover everything you need to know! Here are some examples of the sort of questions you may want to ask:
- Questions specific to the role
- What is your approach to meal planning?
- What qualities do you look for in a family to decide whether it’s a good fit?
- Describe a typical day at work for you.
- Questions about their nannying style
- What do you think are the qualities needed to be a good nanny?
- What is your approach to discipline?
- What are your favourite activities to do with children?
- Questions about their education and experience
- How long have you worked as a nanny?
- Do you have any childcare qualifications?
- Are you Ofsted-registered?
- And it’s good to ask a few personal questions!
- Why did you decide to become a nanny?
- What are your hobbies?
