We've never done the 'nanny' thing...my wife stays at home. So we've never intervied a nanny...but...
If we were looking for a nanny, I think we would look for someone who is enthusiastic, first and foremost...not fake or annoying enthusiastic, but geniune. I'm pretty sure that 99% of the parent's decision will be based upon first impressions. So, I would recommend that you try to relax and come across as genuine. The best way to come across as genuine is to be yourself.
I assume you like kids, or you wouldn't be trying to get a job as a nanny. ;-) Let that shine through, over everything else. You would love the opportunity to spend time with these children. I think mentioning the children by name would tend to go over well.
Anyway, I hope it works out well for you! Good luck!
