Tell me about a moment when you were caring for a child and managing several chores at once.

Daily multitasking is part of being a nanny. You may need to make meals, supervise the child's schooling, and take care of other duties all at once. The interviewer is interested in learning how you prioritize your work and how effectively you can handle several jobs at once when looking after children.

Example: I once had to manage a family's food shopping, washing, and dinner preparation in addition to looking after a child. Since I was aware that the child's safety came first, I took care to always have him in sight. I made a list of things to do and divided them up between the parents and me to help me stay organized. We were able to do everything swiftly and effectively as a result.
