Question 18 of 25

Tell me about your experience working with toddlers.

"I have been working with toddlers for the past 10 years. I am comfortable with all ages, from one to three years old and have learned about the developmental stages as well. From teething to potty training, I am good at working with supervisors and parents to help ease the growing pains. I worked as a nanny for all four years of college with two kids, ages one and three. We spent most of our time outside playing games and swinging on the swings. I like to keep out time positive and fun for the kids and I'm always open to trying new activities."



Give the interviewer a short summary of your experience. You may want to mention experience with potty training and your discipline style. Also, give at least one example of a time you provided child care for toddlers.

      "I have been working with toddlers for the past few months at home. I am most comfortable working with 2-3-year-olds as that is where I have the most experience. We spend most of our time playing outside swinging on the swings, playing games, and reading books. I try to keep them as active as possible, and I'm always open to any new activities they would like to try."

      Excellent! Can you talk more about who these toddlers are? Are they siblings or the kids of other people? How many of them are there? It's great that you keep them active and off screens!
