“Let me ask you something; Terri says she hired you through the Cassell agency. How do you like them? The reason I’m asking is Tom and I are thinking of doing a cruise next year and we were hoping to bring an au pair with us to help with the kids.”
“I liked them. I think they’ve treated me fairly, but they really put me through the wringer before they would let me go on an interview; references, school transcripts, background checks. the paperwork! Plus I had to get certified in all sorts of stuff, like cpr, adult, child and infant, then advanced first aid. They gave me a certificate that says I’m qualified as an assistant practical nurse, whatever that means.”
“Well that sounds good. I’ve heard good things about that agency from people who’ve hired through it, but I wanted to get the caregiver’s perspective.
“How do you like Kevin and Terri so far?”
