En lo que entra alguna familia en mi perfil y para matar un poco la impaciencia y los nervios de la espera (aunque se que estos no son nervios en comparación con los que voy a tener cuando reciba el primer correo de una familia interesada...), voy a dedicar este post a comentaros un poco algunas preguntas básicas que considero que deberé ir haciendo a las familias en las sucesivas entrevistas (si es que nos gustamos mutuamente y queremos seguir hablando) especialmente para descubrir si es mi familia ideal, y para saber (en caso de elegirlos como familia y que ellos me elijan a mi) que esperar cuando llegue a su casa en los Estados Unidos de América.
No todas las preguntas son mías, busqué por algunos blogs para hacerme una idea, también APIA me mandó algunas, y añadí otras de cosecha propia, de cosas que son importantes para mi... Las dividí en bloques, porque vi que así era más sencillo.
Os las dejo por aquí, por si alguien se encuentra en el mismo punto que yo y busca inspiración sobre cosas que pueden ser interesantes preguntar, pero de las que no se había dado cuenta...

Se que son un millón más o menos (vale, exagero mucho, ya sabéis como soy, en realidad son unas 50 preguntas, el número 50 parece acompañarme, =)), está claro que NO hay que hacerlas todas en la primera entrevista y que muchas ya estarán resultas en el perfil de la familia, simplemente a medida que siga el proceso podéis ir preguntándolas poco a poco.
Como ya he dicho, mi intención con este inmenso cuestionario es saber que esperar al llegar allí (que una tiene experiencia en esto de ser au pair y a veces se ha llevado sorpresas por no preguntar todo, todo y todo antes de ir) y descubrir si somos tal para cual (que es al menos un año de convivencia, y si no son los adecuados puede resultar duro).
Espero que os sirva de guión y ayuda para futuras entrevistas, =)
Un beso grande!!
