The first interview may take the form of a telephone
interview, where the family will want to get a general
feel for you as a nanny and assess your suitability.
We then recommend that you meet up. We are happy to
email photographs, and can arrange a video conference
too. For UK based positions we do recommend more than
one interview, the second being more in-depth and with
the children so the family can see how well you interact.
