If you’re hiring a nanny for the first time, it can be difficult to know which questions you need to ask. How do you identify a good nanny from a nanny that just isn’t suited to you and your family? How do you know that you’ve chosen the perfect nanny for your children?
We’ve put together a list of our top 10 interview questions to ask your nanny job applicants to help you determine who’s the cream of the crop:
- Why did you choose to become a nanny?
- What is your current position and why do you want to leave?
- What are you looking for in your next position?
- What salary are you seeking?
- When would you be available to start a new position?
- Can you cook?
- Why do you enjoy looking after children?
- Are you trained in First Aid?
- How do you see your role in disciplining my child/children?
- What household tasks are you happy to perform? (e.g. nursery duties only, light housework, ironing, cooking)
