Once you have chosen an pair we then arrange a telephone interview, please don’t call the girl without knowing the times and day in their country.
Do be aware that it is hard to speak another language on the telephone and once your au pair arrives it is easier to speak to you face to face and they do come on quickly when they start to talk to you and your family.
Questions To Ask Au Pair On The Telephone Interview
Here are some questions you must ask ;
- What date does she/he want to come to the UK? Are they coming by plane/train/bus?
- Tell them the airport they must come to.
- Ask the exact date when they are wanting to go back to their country.
