What do parents want from second interview?

[Nannyme22]

I had an interview past week and the agency said they loved me but as other interviews were arranged they didn't want to cancel so they saw one other one who they also really like so are now unsure.
Feedback from agency is that they feel they got to know her more in interview she was more open and chatty.
They are having me back for a second interview/three hour trial but I don't know how to change how I acted the first time cause I thought it went well!
Parents what would you expect from a trial, what would you be looking for?
Child is 4 weeks old so can't really do anything apart from cuddles maybe bottle do I think it's more of a chat to parents again than trial.

I thought first interview went so well and now it's got me all paramour and nervous. They seem like such an amazing little family and there is not one thing about the job I didn't like the sound of. The parents seemed so nice.
I know if I got the job the parents wouldn't regret hiring me but how do I convince them of this??

Sorry long post!

I don't think you can change how you act. They just want more chance to get to know you. Don't be someone you're not, you want them to employ the real you.

I suppose they want to get a feel for what it would be like to have you around the house - as baby is so tiny, I guess the parents may be around quite a bit. Perhaps they just need more time with you.

Good luck.

Well done on your second interview.
Could they be hoping to find out a bit more about you? Maybe family? Any nieces/nephews etc.
Maybe they are hoping to just chat a little to see how you might all rub along. You could try things like 'beautiful baby name, how did you choose it?' Or 'this is a lovely home, how long have you lived in the area?' Just small things to get a bit of chitchat going.
Good luck

Thanks for the replies guys.
I'm so nervous, I think it is more they want to get to know me over my skills which is why I am so nervous I guess I've never been good at chit chat! I'll ask lots of questions and be smiley!
What will be will be.

Don't forget that if you were the first nanny they interviewed, they may also have become more relaxed themselves and gotten more out of an interview with another nanny. They may be kicking themselves that they didn't ask you something or their baby may have been awake for the interview with the other candidate and they want to give you the same opportunity.

2nd interviews are often used to either validate a decision/preference or to ask more detailed questions that they didn't raise at the first interview. We also got down to more tricky discussions about pay and conditions [like when holiday could be taken] at a second interview.

Just tell them you're nervous. "Getting to know you" is short hand for "are you like us" ie. Do you have similar values and approaches in life.

Don't be afraid to hold an opinion. When we did our first interviews we had very pfb opinions about TV. Some nannies picked up on it and clearly told us what we wanted to hear, two others completely changed our minds on the subject.
