[quote=Anonymous]You should ask the parents if it's okay. If they say it's okay, then you should go barefoot. Going barefoot establishes a sense of "comfort" and "homeyness". This is important if you babysit a lot as it makes the child feel more comfortable to be around you. Even if you can't wear sockless shoes, you should still take your shoes and socks off when you enter the client's home. If you just take your shoes off but leave your socks on, then your socks would be more likely to dirty the floor because they collected more outside germs than your bare feet. If you want to feel more comfortable about going barefoot, put on some nail polish, so your toes are nicer to look at. After all, you are not a stranger. You're in the house for a long period of time, and even "subbing" for their parent, so why keep your shoes and/or socks on? If they say no, then bring a pair of flip flops, if you didn't already wear them to get there, and change into those.[/quote]
