Yes .. .You can stop the records creating  from second child records for parent by using the trigger
 
trigger oneToOne on Employee__c (before insert, before update) {
    Set<Id> interestIds = new Set<Id>();
    Map<Id, Interest__c> mapInterest = new Map<Id, Interest__c>();
    
    for(Employee__c e : trigger.New) {
        interestIds.add(e.Interest__c);
    }
    
    List<Interest__c> listInterest = [SELECT Id, Number_of_employees__c FROM Interest__c WHERE Id =: interestIds];
    
    for(Interest__c intr : listInterest) {
        mapInterest.put(intr.Id, intr);
    }
    
    for(Employee__c e : trigger.New) {        
        if(mapInterest.get(e.Interest__c).Number_of_employees__c == 1) {
            e.addError('Already an employee has been associated with this interest');
        }
    }


 
Other option is , you can able to do it with configuration ( let’s consider the relation between the parent and child is master details , then create rollup summer filed and wrote validation on the rollups summery  field if its count is great than one )
