it sounds stupid but do a fake interview with someone before the real thing. I did a fake interview with my dad for the security job I have now. And at the time I thought it was stupid but when I was in the interview they asked some of the same questions and I was ready. So have your parents do up some interview questions that might be asked for someone in your field. Sounds stupid but im tellin ya it worked for me
Be confident and show them that your not nervous to be around other adults because that shall prove to the how confident you will be with the children and also if you get the chance to indicate some games/ activites that you have come up with for the children to do or play eagerness is always a good thing especially when children are concerned!!
the qualifications you have indicate your competence and dedication...
so believe in yourself, be smartly dressed, look them in the eye and smile.
be yourself your love for/eagerness to do the job will show thru
if you are unsure of a question they ask, ask them to clarify it for you,
keep your answers direct and to the point
thats my birthday so it will go fine I give you good luck xxx kayleigh
