Practice prompts based on occupational tasks
These Applyace practice prompts use O*NET tasks for nannies. They are not reported employer questions. If you have not done a task, explain your approach and learning needs instead of inventing experience.
1. Instruct children in safe behavior, such as seeking adult assistance when crossing the street and avoiding contact with unsafe objects.
Describe a real example of this task. What was your responsibility, and what happened?

How did you decide which approach or tools to use? Explain the tradeoffs.
3. Perform first aid or cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) when required.
What could go wrong during this task? Describe how you would check your work.
4. Instruct and assist children in the development of health and personal habits, such as eating, resting, and toilet behavior.
