interview for 2 children tomorrow!

[katie0183]

As said in the title i have an intervieww tomorrow for 2 children 1 whom's 22 months and the other who's 8 months. I wanted to know what everyone does on an interview and how much information you do and do not take what you show people and what you dont and what you do with the children in the time. Obviously i need to get to know these kids slightly before making my judgement and obviously speak to mum. My last interview was a month ago and subsequently i didnt get it and just wanted to see how everyone else does it to see if everyone's luck will rub off on me :P

Thanks in advance!

Interact with the children, show the parent your portfolio and ask lots of questions about the children and thier likes/dislikes/interests.

I am sure you will be fine!! Best of luck to you and let us all know how it goes

Just be yourself

Show mom your folder

Get a few toys out on the floor and sit and chat to the children whilst mom is looking at your folder

Talk about your rules - fees - hours of work etc etc etc

Show parent around and let her know where everything is and where the children will be playing and eating etc etc etc

Relax I am sure you will be fine

Good luck

As above but you could make a few notes on the likes/dislikes, what hours, names and any preferences of the parent. Looks professional that you are writing it down.

Definately play/talk with the children but don't go over the top and force something on the children if they are shy. at 8m & 22m it may take a while for them to get used to strange place/person. Possibly sit on the floor doing something interesting to get their curiosity and let them come to you.


Good luck:) fingers crossed

Best of luck, hope you all get on fabulously :)
