    Default what do you wear?

    I'm curious what other childminders wear for work? At the moment I live in jeans and tops most of the time, occasionally leggings and longer tops but I am so bored of my clothes and want to change my wardrobe, but equally don't want to end up wearing things which just aren't practical for running around after kids in! So, what do you wear while minding?

    well i tried minding naked, but upon reflection i went with clothes!
    sorry could not resist.
    i have not made myself a buisness like others who have branded clothes and things xxx
    I wear my usual yummy mummy garb, dresses in summer and heels too but never when i have to carry the kids. My mindee could easily be my own and don't define him as different, he's one of the posse, embaressing 'mum' and all!

    I have a free vistaprint t shirt with different designs with our business name on for each day, and any bottoms that are comfy and tidyish looking.

    I wear my ordinary clothes. A mixture of jeans, trousers, crops, shorts, skirts or dresses and my beloved Birkenstocks or full shoes in wet weather or the winter, depending on the weather and what we are doing.

    Just the same as I did as a mum at home with 2 young children. I make sure what I wear is comfortable and washable! I am not an insitiution, I offer Home from Home care, so why would I wear a uniform? I sometimes wear my NCMA Childminder pin when I go out but not always.

    I live in jeans and polo shirts even more during the week when I'm working.

    I have jeans which have wear marks on the knees for work and best jeans for the weekends
