Interview questions for nanny?

Can you all suggest interview questions for a few PT nannies we will be interviewing?  My daughter is 14 weeks.

Thanks

Re: Interview questions for nanny?

  • Have you ever seen Pregnant in Heels?  She has fabulous Qs for nannys.  Go to the website and watch the episode where she interviewed nannys for a NYC mom.
  • You might want to post this over on the bump - I'm sure you'll get some good advice.

  • I've been a nanny for years and I have learned that the questions the parents ask determine how good the relationship will be. A few suggestions are,

    1: What kind of relationship do you envision having with us as parents, and with our daughter?

    2: What kind of activities or interactions do you believe would help to foster our daughter's intellectual development?

    3:  Why do you enjoy caring for children?

    4: What are some of your hobbies and activities in your free time?

    5: Have you ever been in an emergency situation, and how did you handle it?

    6: If you have a problem with our family rules, or a situation with us as parents, how will you communicate with us?
