How do you organize a successful interview with a potential Tatie?

An interview allows the parent and the person offering childcare to present their expectations and ask their questions before deciding together what happens next.

Prepare the essential information

Present the schedule, location, children’s ages, routines, allergies, any treatments, and planned tasks. Clearly indicate any particular need that may change the organization of the childcare.

Ask specific questions

• What childcare experience does the person say they have?
• How would they react in an emergency or if a parent could not be reached?
• What activities would they suggest based on the child’s age?
• What are their scheduling and travel constraints?
• How would they like to communicate before and during the childcare?

A qualification or experience remains self-declared unless a specific check is displayed. Check the specific checks displayed on the profile and limit your conversations to the information needed for the childcare.

Also let the babysitter ask questions

They must be able to understand the house rules, responsibilities, payment, and cancellation terms. A vague answer on an important point should be clarified before any childcare.

Confirm the arrangements in writing

After the conversation, summarize the amount, schedule, tasks, and emergency contacts. For a relationship covered by in-home employment, consult the official rules relating to the in-home employee’s contract.
