Interview, then the job is yours
If the family likes you too, they invite you to an interview. If it goes well, you get the job.
Good to know: Applying doesn't promise you a job yet. A job is confirmed once you and the family have met at the interview and both say yes. Until then, we keep looking for the families that suit you best.
