In your experience as a nanny, what has been the most challenging circumstance you've faced?

The recruiter will ask you this question to gauge your ability to solve problems. The family wants to make sure you have what it takes to go beyond obstacles and give the kids a secure place.

For example, as a nanny, the hardest thing I had to do was take care of a child who became ill out of the blue. She had an unusual temperature and started throwing up several times during the morning. I spent time with her kid until her mother could return home, and I contacted her mother to let her know what was going on. I made sure she was comfortable and drank lots of water to remain hydrated while I waited.
