bestnanny.jpgToday we goto The Best Nanny Newsletter to get some tips on how to interview household employees.

Interviewing household employees such as nannies, chefs, personal assistants, housekeepers, health care aides, and butlers is important. Each family and home has unique needs. Many potential problems can be avoided if the interview is properly conducted. During interviews the families and the job candidates often rely on their intuition. Although it is not wise to jump to conclusions, it is natural to get a sense of what individuals are like in the first minutes of meetings. As prospective employees and family members learn more about each other they can make informed decisions if their relationships may work.

In-person interviews are essential in helping families and potential employees determine if they are compatible. For example, in nanny in-person interviews the parents can judge how nannies and their children interact. Parents can describe activities their children enjoy to see if nanny candidates have an interest in those areas.
