The person you look should not be fresh maid and w/o childcare experience. And they should not be too young and too old.(age can be deciving in the bio, so trust your own feeling).
Remeber your priority, childcare or housework. Practically, you hardly find a superwomen can do all for you, so be practice about your choice.
Point for maid interview:
1)General question asking like how many sibling, where you stay, what your name...to get ball rolling.
2)What she can do? And what she CANNOT do? Dun expect a perfect answer, coz it is NOT possible. Yous should expect a reasonable answer, too perfect is a problem. (indication of lying)
3)Since you leaving your child with maid, you have to analyse whether the maid is independent. From her answer you can check her tone of answering (firm or not firm), and her eyes will tell you the most of her attitde. (She looking at you or her eye ball rolling, looking sideway> indication of lie maybe and lack of confident.)
4)Have to enage someone cheerful, again you can see this from the body language and facial expression.
5)Does she like the kids? (Please dun asked the one answer question, like yes or not.......everyone will tell you yes to get the job) You should asked which you prefer> Hosework or childcare> and why??? or why not?
6)IF she has taken care of her sibling or baby before, asked what's she the MENU she cook for them and how she cook? You will know from here whether she got experience or not.
7)How she feed the children??? (big spoon or small spoon? Why?) Food servce imeediately after cook??? How you bath baby? In the center they have fake baby, so can asked her to demo to you, if you want to be assure of her experience
8)Forget about biodata, dun even believe them. Some are fake by the maid and some are fake by the agent, so that these maid are employable!!! But of course some are genuine, so u need to asked the question to see whether they real or not.......and please no one answer question.
9)Sometime, you asked question, but the answer is not important, the best is to asked question like what you study in school or what you do in the house or you help or how you help your mum? or what you want to be after two year, or after you finished contract what you want to do in Indonesia? Asked question that they can express themself, and from there you can see the attitude how they answer and they facial and eye expression. Answer is not important in these question then... (One question not enough, should asked a few)
10)Do not rely 100%, not even 70% from comment from agent....you do your own analyse okie.
Remember you are looking for someone to take care your daughter, so that someone must be like you. Cannot anyhow choose....
Prepare question, asked question that you think how a caregiver should know when taking care of children. You are a mother youself , so you know what is the best for your child
GoodLuck
