AU PAIR  MORE QUESTIONS

Au pair and nanny interview questions:

• Describe your most recent childcare experience and why it ended.
• What was the worst childcare experience you had and how did you handle it?
• As a child, how were you disciplined? What would, or do, you do differently with your own children?
• What do you feel is the most challenging or interesting thing about working with children?
• Have you ever been in an emergency situation? How did you handle it?
• Tell me a little abut your own childhood and your relationship with your family.
• What types of things do you like to do in your free time?
• What are your favorite television shows?
• How would your closest friends describe you?

Additional interview questions to use if your child is under two years of age:

• How do you handle a crying baby? How do you feel at the time?
• What do you think is your primary responsibility to a child of this age?
• When you last cared for a baby or toddle, what types of activities did you engage the child in?

Additional interview questions to use if your child is two to three years of age:

• If you were in a grocery store and the child had a temper tantrum, how would you handle it? How would you handle it in the home?
• How do you approach toilet training? Did it work?
• Where does outdoor play and interaction with peers fit into a child's day?
• What educational activities would you do with a child this age?
• What indoor activities would you do with a child this age?

Additional interview questions to use if your child is three to five years of age:

• How would you set limits for or discipline a child of this age? Give me an example of how it has worked in the past.
• What television shows are appropriate for a child of this age? What would you be doing if the child was watching television?
• Would you be willing to supervise play time with other children in our home? Would you be willing to take our child to activities or play groups and participate if necessary?

Additional interview questions to use if your child is five or older:

• What are your thoughts on outdoor play without direct supervision? For example, if you were in the house with another sibling.
• Are you comfortable assisting with homework? Reviewing homework?
• Are you comfortable supervising friends of our children during a play date while you are in charge?

The interview process is not complete until you have validated the prospects answers. When you call references, and you must call references, ask about events or claims that the prospect brought up during the interview. For instance, if the candidate shared with you that she cared for a child from the age of two years until the child was six years of age, verify that with the reference. The questions are easy to ask and can quickly uncover critical inconsistencies. The time and effort you put into this process will show in the quality of care you secure for your child.

BEST WAY TO LEARN ENGLISH

Tom / United Kingdom
The best way to learn English is go and live in an English country, take English lessons and get lots of English friends. Failing that, you just have to put in a lot a time and a lot of practice.

George / United States
The best way to learn English, I guess it would just be by talking to people in English and just keep going at it and keep going at it, and eventually you'll get it I think.

Jess / United Kingdom
The best way to learn English I think would be to go to England or to an English native speaking country and live there for maybe for a year or two years. I learnt a lot of Spanish by having a Spanish boyfriend, so I would also recommend a close relationship with someone who speaks the language you want to learn.

Michael / Singapore
The best way to learn English is to take whatever you learn in class and to practice it outside of class, because we know that most of the students they just learn it in class but they don't have opportunities to practice what they learn outside, so if you don't have any English speaking friends, what you can do is of course go online and there's a lot of pen pals and you can just make some friends online to practice your English and that would work as well.

Mike / United States
Well, nobody learns the same the way so there are a lot of ways to learn. I think the best way is probably to vary the learning methods. Do a little reading, a little speaking, a little writing, and a little listening. Try to combine the different methods and get a balanced approach.

failing that

Failing that, you just have to put in a lot a time

The phrase "failing that" means "if that does not work". Notice the following:

1. If the coke machine does not give you change back, pull the handle. Failing that, kick it.
2. Try to choose the best answer. Failing that, guess!

keep going

I would talk to people in English and just keep going at it and keep going at it.

When you keep going at something, that means you continue to do it. Notice the following:

1. He kept going at the puzzle but he could not solve it.
2. Don't stop. Keep going. Keep going.

opportunity

They don't have a lot of opportunities to practice.

An opportunity is a chance to do something. Notice the following:

1. We do not have many opportunities to relax at work.
2. When you travel you have many opportunities to speak English.

balanced approach

Try to combine the different methods and get a balanced approach.

A balanced approach means more than one method is used to achieve something. Notice the following:

1. Raising a child takes a balanced approach to discipline.
2. Good teachers have a balanced approach to teaching content.

incentive

You also have an incentive to learn more.

An incentive is a reward to do something. Notice the following:

1. My incentive to losing weight is to look good at the beach.
2. What is your incentive to learning English?

brought up to

my culture were brought up to think that that's really bad.

In this case, "brought up" means to be raised from childhood.

1. I was brought up to believe it is impolite to eat with your elbows on the table.
2. Many boys are brought up to believe they should hide their feelings.

on your record

If you do anything wrong then it's on your record.

"Record" in this case means a criminal history or some other official record of your behaviour.

1. If you are late for work more than 3 times, it will be noted on your record with the Personnel section.
2. Many countries will not issue a visa if you have a criminal conviction on your record.

pull over

The policeman asked me to pull over.

In this case, "pulling over" is an action taken when you are driving a car and it means
to move your car to the side of the road and stop.

1. Thanks for giving me a lift home. You can pull over at this corner and let me off.
2. In Japan, you should pull over to the left and wait if you hear an ambulance coming.

straight

The policeman in Dubai was very straight and honest.

When we are talking about people, "straight" means to be honest and not evasive nor to hide
anything.

1. It is important to have people who are straight working in positions of authority, so that their power is not abused.
2. When my sister had an accident, my father was completely straight with me about her condition and didn't try to protect me from the difficult truth.

turned me down

He turned me down, it is really bad in the Arab culture.

To be "turned down" is to be denied something.

1. I asked Jack if he would go out for coffee with me, but he turned me down. I was so disappointed.
2. When I asked my mum if I could get a motor bike, she turned me down because it was too dangerous.

Wife: Again?

Husband: No Way. I can't believe it.

Wife: Neither can I, but you did.

Husband: Ah, how can I make it up to you . . . again? Anything!

Wife: Okay, let's negotiate. [Negotiate?] First of all, I want to go on that dream vacation you've always promised me.

Husband: You mean, to Chicago?

Wife: No! To Europe. I want to fly first class and stay at 5-star hotels. And no more places with broken heaters, leaky showers, and dirty bedding.

Husband: Ah, were those places that bad?

Wife: Well, SOMETHING a little nicer, at least once in a blue moon, would be nice. [Well . . . ] And, oh yeah. Next, I want to get a new kitchen stove. The old one took its last breath weeks ago.

Husband: But we . . .

Wife: No, we're NOT going to use the outdoor barbecue anymore. It isn't any fun at all cooking outside in the winter, with icicles hanging from your nose.

Husband: That bad?

Wife: Not for YOU since you're always watching from inside.

Husband: Oh, well.

Wife: And finally, I want a new wardrobe: some new dresses, shirts, pants, earrings . . .

Husband: But . . .

Wife: And, NO, I'm not going to wear your grandmother's old secondhand pants again.

Husband: Is that it?

Wife: Uh, hmm, for now. So, why don't we grab a bite to eat before we start planning the entire adventure.

Husband: But lunch wasn't on the list.

Wife: Let's see. Paris, Rome, London, then a short detour to Russia, China, [What?!] and, ooh, and Hawaii on the way home.

Husband: Wow. I'd better ask the boss for a huge raise.
