      Babysitter Interview

      1 Sept 2016
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 days. I interviewed at Babylangues

      Interview

      Interview was a Skype interview as I wasn't in Paris. The interviewer asked questions about my work experience before giving a series of imaginary scenarios and asking how I would respond. Was initially happy with the interview - it went well and the interviewer told me that I had the job, then a few days later I got an email saying that I didn't because I didn't have the "right skills" (even though I had worked in a very similar job for an entire year leading up to the interview, and during the interview they said my skills were exactly what they were looking for).

      Interview questions [5]

      Question 1

      What would you do if you were babysitting two children and one of them was refusing to speak/wasn't interested?
      Answer question

      Question 2

      What dangers do you need to be aware of in the home?
      Answer question

      Question 3

      How would you make the parents feel comfortable with you looking after their children?
      Answer question

      Question 4

      How would you make the children feel comfortable around you?
      Answer question

      Question 5

      What would you do if you were out in public with the children and one of them threw a tantrum and literally refused to go home?

      Bonjour, We are very sorry to hear that this happened, as it goes completely against our recruitment policy. If you had been hired then we would have absolutely wanted to work with you. I can only imagine that an administrative error occurred. We are very keen to find out what happened and how this misunderstanding came about. I very much encourage you to get in touch with me directly so that I can personally look into this. Once again, please do accept our apologies as we would never want our applicants to feel unhappy on account of our recruitment process. Tori Head of Recruitment recruitment@babylangues.com

      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Babylangues (Paris) in Oct 2024

      Interview

      Very relaxed, they ask a few questions about your experience and why you want to work with children, and what you think is the most important quality to have when working with children. They accept casual baby sitting as valid work experience.
