Can anyone help with ideas on questions to ask an au pair in a telephone interview? She is Italian, with some English (according to the form she sent) and I want to try and have a useful and valuable talk with her over the phone while giving her the benefit of the doubt over pauses, hestitations, due to lack of English. I have had nannies before, and feel OK with this, but an au pair is quite different. Help! What do I ask her?
