Well pin a rose on your nose.


I love snooty nannies! We're still the help you know

Some nannies are regarded as early childhood educators.

So ... are you wearing a Clinton-style pants suit?

Seriously though. Khakis and a sweater set?

I'm usually on the defense against people throwing around the word lazy and entitled for every nanny, but damn really? You have a problem dressing like you give a shit?

I was a preschool teacher for years. I never worked at a center where the dress code was too dressy. I dressed in comfortable clothes that I could fingerpaint in. Preschools that require teachers to dress as "professionals" do not have your child's best interests at heart and end up with teachers who are afraid to do anything messy with their charges (IMHO).

I totally agree. I dressed in the way that I can perform better. Dealing with kids requires a lot of movements. Nannies/preschool teacher who are dressed so nice usually can be found on the side and just watching. Either they can't really move comfortably with what they wearing or too afraid to get dirty. Yes, I wear gym clothes too but damm they're much expensive than most jeans and I would say versatile enough to be presentable.

I think the question that should be raise here is how decent some nannies dressed. As an employer, would you prefer nice but revealing clothes for your nannies? over yoga pants and sweat shirt? (I've seen minimal nannies who wears deep neckline shirt and shorts shorts or skirt) I'll bet your husband will gladly give their own opinion Let's add the bonus make up too.

and Yes! judge us on what we wear because that's how you'll know how engage we are on stimulating and engaging your kids.

I am new to the boards since this was originally posted. since this was re brought to the top and is up for convo again, I'll say this is just ridiculous. I am a very professional nanny. I work for a fairly high profile family in a very wealthy neighborhood. My NF has a nanny(me), a driver, a housekeeper, a gardener, and a cook all on full time staff. I am treated as a professional, but also as part of a family. I spend more waking hours with my 5 month old and 3 year old charges than anyone else. All of that said, I wear yoga pants. I am highly paid, take my responsibilities very seriously, love my job and my charges, and you're going to judge me over my yoga pants and plain colored tee shirt??? I am comfortable and best able to get my duties done. MB would think I was crazy to work in anything other than comfy yoga pants and sneakers!

Amen.

I think it's laughable that people expect a nanny to look like Jo Frost. I wear work-out clothes, except if we are going to the doctors or something of that nature I will dress up more...but at home, the park, the Zoo. I wear what I can work best in.

Some days I wear yoga pant, some days I wear jeans and somedays I wear shorts... My bosses could care less what I wear as long as their kids are happy and well taken care of - and they are! By not making sure my nails, hair an clothing are in perfect condition I'm able to spend more time doing my job. Those of you that think less of nannys who won't dress to the nines to care for your children obviously don't have their interests at heart.

Here we are for on the job attire....

No, it's a mutual agreement, unless it's your child.

It's up to employers.

Apparently you've never tried to feed waffles to a pair of toddlers...

I am the nail nanny-I work 7 to 630 or later..I have an appt every weds night at 9 pm. Most nannies work long hours and it really can be hard to find the time to do anything. I certainly play with my girls all day long, do crafts and also cook homemade dinners every night..it's just a personal preference to get my nails done and my NF appreciates it..I think nannies should always be clean--freshly showered and clothes washed no matter what ( sadly I have seen dirty nannies quite a bit)...I think yoga pants and a cute tshirt and hoodie is a lot different than 10 year old ratty sweatpants wih a tshirt that's 6 sizes too big...
