Article: Whether you're a recent graduate or you've been working as a nanny for many years, you need to communicate to the parents why you are qualified for the position. Make sure to communicate how your experience is relevant to this specific job.  Even if you've never worked as a nanny before, you can probably think of some relevant experience you've had with children. Babysitting, working as a tutor, and volunteering at a summer camp all count as relevant experience.  If you have a degree in early childhood development or a related subject, talk about the kinds of classes you took and what you learned. Some parents may have no idea what your degree entails. Be sure to highlight any special skills that you have that could benefit the children. Knowledge of childhood development is a huge asset, but there are also many other skills that parents may be looking for. Be sure to mention the following skills, as well as any other unique talents that set you apart.  Second language Culinary abilities Musical or artistic talents Teaching or tutoring experience Exceptional driving record The parents want to know that you will be energetic and engaged when you're with their children, so you need to seem genuinely excited about the opportunity.  Try showing enthusiasm by talking about some of your favorite activities to do or your favorite meals to prepare. Asking questions about the children will not only make you seem more interested in the job, but it will also give you clues about what qualities the parents might be looking for in a nanny.  Find out how many children the family has and how old they are. Ask about the children's interests and activities. Find out if the children have special medical needs or behavioral challenges. Learn how the parents discipline their children and what guidelines they expect you to follow. Your answers should show that you are experienced, professional, and friendly, but they should also be true. Don't lie during an interview, even if you think it will help you.  Keep in mind that you are interviewing the parents as much as they are interviewing you. If you don't agree with the parents' disciplinary techniques, the job may not be right for you, and that's okay! Some nannies are responsible solely for taking care of the children, while others might be required to do some household chores as well. Clarify the scope of the work by asking if you will be responsible for things like laundry,  cooking, running errands, tutoring, and pet care.  Unless these chores are a real deal breaker for you, always express enthusiasm and a willingness to do whatever is asked of you. You may also want to ask about the children's schedule and the hours you will be expected to work, especially if you have other commitments. Ask questions about the household routine and the parenting philosophy. It is important to know, for example, if the parents do not want their children watching television during the day or if the children are accustomed to lots of organized activities. It's usually best not to ask any questions about compensation during the first interview. These kinds of discussions are often saved for a second interview or for after you are offered the job. If the interviewer brings the topic up first, then it's fine to talk about it.  It's a good idea to do some research on the going rate for nannies in your area before the interview, just in case you are asked about your salary requirements. Pay for this kind of work varies greatly by geographic area.  If you think of any qualifications that you forgot to mention during the interview, feel free to let them know. There's no way to predict all of the questions that parents will ask you during a nanny interview, but preparing answers to some of the more common ones is a great way to prepare. You want to sound conversational, so don't memorize every word you plan on saying, but have a good idea of what you will say if you are asked the following questions:  Why do you want to be a nanny? What was your last job and why did you leave? What do you enjoy about working with children? How would you handle a medical emergency? How do you believe in disciplining children? What are your views on childhood nutrition? What was your daily routine like at your last nanny job? How do you spend your free time?

Article: In some cases, people with dual-sensory loss are accompanied by a partner trained to facilitate communication for the deaf-blind. This person will have sometimes formal education in deaf-blind communication, and will have developed rapport. It has been shown that the level of education in deaf-blindness has the greatest impact on communication with the deaf-blind. These may include hints in the form of:  Changes in body language Pre-written notes or cards Recordings or utterances Changes in the person's breathing Changing facial expressions Physical actions (such as taking you to the fridge for food) If they reach for your hands, this could be an attempt to communicate. Then hand it back, unless instructed otherwise. A person who is deaf-blind might communicate using written messages or pre-recorded messages. These are used to convey essential information about their activities. Communication for the deaf-blind can be extremely difficult. The person may need considerably more time than you are used to in order to express what he is trying to say. By giving him the time to fully convey or to try different ways to express the idea, you can help facilitate interaction.
