The interview decides exactly one thing: is she worth a trial in your home?
Don't use it to judge how she is with your child. That is what the trial is for.
Screening. The interview filters out candidates with disqualifying gaps, mismatched expectations, or a caregiving philosophy that clashes with yours. It can't show you warmth, patience, or how someone reads a child in real time — only a trial day can.
Which means the most important hiring decision isn't “should we hire her?” after the interview. It's “should we try her?” — and then watching carefully.
The screening call, reference questions, clinical interview, and trial-day checklist.
