Tell me about your experience working around children.
Many cruise lines offer a family-friendly environment, with kids clubs. These clubs often offer activities and care from babies all the way to teenagers. Entertainment and care could include large playrooms, special kid-friendly menus, crafts, water parks, and other programs. The interviewer needs to know that you would be comfortable working around children of all ages. Talk about your experience working with kids, including the ages you have worked with and the types of activities that you have led. If you do not have experience working around children, that is okay. Discuss that you are a kid at heart and are confident that you can make any day fun, and safe, for kids of all ages!
"I have worked as a babysitter since I was 12 years old. I have been a volunteer for Girl Guides a few years running as well. I have worked with kids in outdoor adventure programs, water programs, and also activities such as crafts and cooking. Most of the kids I have worked with are ages 4-9; although, I believe that I can make any day fun for all ages!"
"I have not had direct work experience with children; however, I am the oldest of four siblings, and did a lot of free babysitting for my parents growing up! I am a kid at heart and enjoy making kids laugh. I can assure you that I would work very hard to make the kids club experience at Viking River Cruises a safe and memorable one."
