很多国内家庭面试互惠生，来去几句几乎都是
Hello how are you? Welcome~
然后到了国内各种问题，磨合不适应，
这是一开始就没有选好~
建议家庭面试互惠生的三个法宝问题：
1-如果孩子今天拒绝跟你说英语，你会怎么做游戏？
（创意力，孩子不配合是常有的事情，看看互惠生怎么回答，一般就算有儿童经验，也不见得有跨语言儿童经验，最好是有教过小朋友外语经验的互惠生。）
2-最近一次计划被打乱是什么样的？
（复原力，考察重点是，互惠生会不会不停抱怨那个打乱计划的因素，当然互惠生毕竟也年轻，家庭别苛求。）
3-想象下三年后的你什么呀？
（内驱力，很多互惠生其实本身就是在学习中文的，他们有自己的规划，不过大部分互惠生其实不知道，年轻人随波逐流也无妨。）

这三个问题是我们的经验，一般来说，家庭能看出来这个互惠生人选合眼缘与否。
除此之外，我们也有建议互惠生文件的问题：
1-你家庭之前接待过互惠生吗？有过日程表吗？日程表经常变动吗？
2-简单描述下你期望我在你家里面一天。
3-我家里人来看我，偶尔请个假两天可以么？
希望这些能帮到你！
Many Chinese host families conduct au pair interviews with little more than:
“Hello, how are you? Welcome~”
Then post-arrival conflicts arise—often because the real screening never happened.
After years of matching experience, we recommend these three essential questions to uncover an au pair’s adaptability:
1. “If our child refuses to speak English today, how would you engage them through play?”
(Tests: Creativity & Cross-Cultural Skills)
→ Listen for: Play-based solutions (e.g., drawing/roleplay). Avoid candidates who insist on “correcting” the child.
2. “Describe a recent time your plans got disrupted. How did you respond?”
(Tests: Resilience & Positivity)
→ Watch for: Problem-solving vs. complaining. Remember—they’re young adults navigating new cultures.
3. “Where do you see yourself in three years?”
(Tests: Intrinsic Motivation)
→ Many au pairs study Chinese or seek life experiences. “Figuring it out” is an acceptable answer!
Bonus: Document Screening Questions
For host families:
1️⃣ “Have you hosted au pairs before? May we see a sample schedule? How flexible was it?”
2️⃣ “Briefly describe your ideal daily routine in our home.”
3️⃣ “Is taking 2 days off occasionally for family visits feasible?”
For au pairs:
1️⃣ “What’s your family’s experience hosting au pairs?”
2️⃣ “What would a typical day look like for me?”
3️⃣ “How do you handle schedule changes?”
These questions reveal more than polished resumes ever could. When the answers feel right, you’ve likely found your match.
Pro Tip: Record video interviews—revisit nuances like tone and body language later.
Hope this helps you build harmonious cultural exchanges! 🌍✨
