    Default does anyone wear a badge?

    morning all
    ive got an ncma childminder badge, i bought it about 3 years ago and ive never worn it.
    does anyone wear one? im thinking of wearing it to soft play today, thought it might draw attention to me being a chuildminder and may get some enquiries what do you think? not sure if i will feel daft wearing it

    I've had a couple over the years, but have never worn them. I did once wear my "support childminder" badge to a group meeting as some new childminders were coming along & I thought it would make it easier for them to spot me!

    Haven't got one but think it would be a good idea around a school playground as you never know it might lead to enquiries about new mindees .

    No I don't have a badge but I have a tattoo -





    invisible to most people but only visible to people who are supercillious and ignorant (ie those who think there is no value to my job) and apparently it says MUG - right across my forehead

    I feel like people are watching and judging me enough, I think a badge would just make it worse!

    Ha Pip, just what I was thinking.
    My badge says 'sucker here' feel free to wipe your feet on me and give me no consideration at all.
    I wear it at home too apparently
