30 Blogs With Sample Nanny Interview Questions



If you’re preparing for a nanny interview but aren’t sure what to ask, take a look at this list of blogs that cover the topic of nanny interview questions in detail. From the most common questions to the most bizarre – and sometimes even the illegal – these blogs cover most any question you’d ever consider asking a potential nanny or nanny employer during an interview. 
Questions related to a nanny’s work experience
When interviewing a nanny it is essential to learn about her nanny experience and qualifications. You’ll also want to speak to previous employers to confirm and learn more about her employment history. These blogs feature questions that address a nanny’s work history, experience, and motivation, and help parents understand what to ask a nanny reference.
Questions you may want to ask, but are afraid to ask
The more you know about a potential employer or nanny, the more confident you can be in the choice to work together. While some questions are straight forward, others are awkward and even perhaps insulting to ask. These blogs provide sample questions that address tough issues. They can also help guide you from asking illegal interview questions.
Questions related to specific nanny job types
Depending on what type of nanny position parents are offering, specific questions geared towards that type of nanny position can help parents determine the suitability of the caregivers. These blogs provide sample questions for specific types of nanny jobs. 
Questions to ask based on where you live and what language you speak
Depending on where you live and what language you speak, the questions you may wish to ask a potential nanny can vary. These blogs provide location and language based questions that can be used to help evaluate a nanny candidate.
Questions related to a nanny’s knowledge of children and nanny care
Parents want to know that the nanny they hire has at least a general understanding of the different ages and stages of childhood and the level and type of care each requires. These blogs provide sample questions parents can use to determine if a nanny has a general working knowledge of children and of the nanny profession. 
Questions to ask during the nanny interviews
Parents may conduct phone and in-person interviews. Parents may wish to ask different sets of questions at each interview. If dad is going to be doing the interviewing, there are some questions he may want to consider asking as well. These blogs provide sample questions that parents can ask potential nannies throughout the interview process.
While some questions are essential and others perhaps offensive, it’s vital that parents have a clear understanding of who is caring for their kids and that the potential nannies have a clear understanding of what they’re getting themselves into. Asking a variety of well thought out questions can ensure that both nannies and parents gather enough information to make an informed decision about working together.
