[quote=Anonymous]While I agree that these aren't great questions, I'll give my answers as an idea of what a nanny who interviews well might respond.

[quote=Anonymous]
1. Why did you become a nanny? I'd tell the story of my first nanny job
2. What do you like about being a nanny? Love working in home environment and having a positive impact on the home and the family unit as a whole that hopefully carries over to the child's entire life--well- run household, relaxed, happy parents means a kid with a better life.
3. What do you like about caring for children of infants? toddlers? Why did you choose this age? Infants are just inherently sweet.  They crave love and connection and it's so touching to be able to give and receive love in such a pure way (and yes, I have even felt this way about colicy babies).  Toddler are fun because they are mastering new tasks and new ways of thinking every day.  Love watching the transition and laying the foundation for future development.
4. What do like/dislike about being a nanny? I like the freedom to go on a hike on a lovely day or enjoy all the free museums in the area through the eyes of a child.
5. What kind of family are you looking for? People who want to communicate with me about their child, people who will be considerate of my time, and people who have similar philosophy on child-rearing and nutrition.
6. What things do you do throughout the day with an infant( 3 months old). What about 6 months?, etc.  At 3 months it would be working on establishing a routine that allows for eat, play and sleep, with a little tummy rime worked in.  At six month would be working on floor time--sitting independently, etc.--introducing solids and rotating in different activities.

Any other answers would be lovely and helpful:)[/quote]

As I said, the other posters' questions will give you much more relevant info.  Ask both sets if you want, but I hope this isn't your only list.[/quote]
