Pre-employment questions help us to perform screening tests. It becomes especially important when you are employing someone to take care of your kids. The more you know about someone, the more you reduce that person’s anonymity. After all, it is about taking care of your little baby. And that is priority.
Make a shortlist of potential nannies from applications received. Talk to each selected applicant on the phone. Set up interview appointments, allowing at least one hour for each applicant.
Here are a few important questions to ask when you are interviewing nannies. If you are interviewing many nannies, it is better to take a note of each girl’s answer as you go along.
- What about your last job- Why did you leave your last job and how long were you there for?
- What’s your qualification-Do you have any qualifications for this job? Can you show me your CV?
You can add more questions on other topics that will be important for you.
