[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would expect neat and clean, nothing dressy and I'm pretty sure that some have worn shorts but definitely not daisy dukes.  I don't think a lot of the nannies that I've interviewed wore anything close to business casual, but then I wasn't expecting it since being able to get down on the floor and play with the kids is a big part of the job.[/quote]

Very often, parents want to see me interact with the children as part of the interview.  This usually involves anything from getting down on the floor with them, getting spit up on by them or more.  None of these are things I would like to do in professional clothing, so I dress accordingly.   I wear a nicer casual top and a cardigan,  but I would never wear anything that would restrict my movement  (such as a blazer), anything that would be *ahem* unbecoming if I were on the floor playing with little ones (such as even a knee-length skirt or a dress)  or anything that I would particlarly care if it got ruined.  I don't  wear accessories because even though they make me look more pulled together, they are neither practical nor appropriate for the position.

If I were interviewing people for the position,  I would expect candidates to be neat, clean and appropriate to a childcare position,  not professional attire.  It is not a professional office position.  [/quote]
