[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP again: I had a conversation with MB about it. I just said I was a little confused about when the dress code applies and had been under the impression that it only applied while I was on duty. She basically told me that she wants me to follow it all the time saying that I'm always representing the family and my behavior reflects on them whether I'm on duty or not.

This is my first live-in job and I haven't really heard of rules like this before. Is this weird or a red flag I should be concerned about? I mean, I can live with this particular rule, and I generally like the family so far, but it feels like this might be a sign that they're a bit on on the controlling side?[/quote]

I’m a live-in nanny.  Unless you’re being paid for 24/7 availability (and so need to be within a certain distance of work and either wearing work clothes or able to change in under 5 minutes), she can’t dictate what you do on off hours, including where you go and what you wear.  She does have the right to ask you to pull on something easy to be in common areas (like a tee over the camisole you wear in your room), but that should have been made clear.[/quote]
