[quote=Anonymous]So first of all I would start with adults only and then have the kids participate in the second call. It can be very distracting with the kids and you will realize quickly some au pairs are not for you. I start with an open ended - why do you want to be an au pair? question to just get them talking. Then I would ask for specific experiences with children of similar ages and what they liked/ disliked about it. And finally I always ask if they have questions for us. There are some that will ask all about the children (a good sign) and then some that are more focused on the perks (will I get an iphone). Definitely use it to screen for English and a personality match. And I would always present the worst case scenario - we may need you to work evenings, weekends, etc so that you don't have any surprises. [/quote]
