1. How do you handle working under very close supervision?
How to Answer
These days, many daycares have cameras set up so that parents can log in and watch their kids play while they are at work. Technology has made it so that, if they wanted, they could have all eyes on their children (and you!) at all times. The interviewer would like to know if you can handle working under such close supervision.

1st Answer Example
"In my current role I work closely with my boss, we have cameras strategically located around the center, and we have regular check-ins every day. I think these measures are great because they reassure parents while protecting the workers and children at the same time. Could you share with me the supervision measures you take here?"

2nd Answer Example
"I am a fantastic employee, so you will not feel the need to supervise my every move; however, I understand that a lot of supervision is required when working in childcare. When you speak of close supervision, are you referring to micromanaging or are you speaking of close working relationships with the parents and children at your daycare center?"
