I know that it being a nanny has it stress however, one of the things that you shouldn’t stress over is how you dress. Being a nanny has some definite perks and one of them is the ability to wear jeans and sweatshirts to work everyday. Why would you want to dress in nice clothes when all you are doing all day is wiping up boogery noses and changing poopy diapers? Take advantage of being able to dress like you still go to college! Mind you, when I mean “still in college” I am talking about the way you dressed for your 8am classes…. sweatpants, sweatshirt, t-shirt, ugg boots and a smile. Now, make sure you wear clean clothes everyday. That can give off the wrong impression if you just wear the same outfit over and over again. Also, I have heard about some employers requiring a dress code. This usually consists of khaki pants and polos. Mind you, that still isn’t too bad compared to people who have to pay 300 dollars for suits. If you are still in college I recommend you save as many hoodies and sweatpants as possible. If you are out of college here is a list of some stores that you can find some great, affordable work clothes:

1. TARGET- this is great for some basic t-shirts and sweats

2. Wall-mart- very cheap but most of the time good quality

3. Aeropostal- caters more toward the college crowd but has great prices on jeans and sweatshirts

4. Old Navy- they have amazing jeans!

5. American Eagle- look in the sale section. their regular price stuff isn’t worth it

6. New York and Co.- great sweats and jeans. plus, this is a great place to buy some interview outfits. And they have great coupons every month!

7. PACSUN- this store also caters to the younger crowd but they have great deals on basics (t-shirts, tanks, ect.) they also have a lot of really nice hoodies.

8. Your college store– before you graduate you need to stock up on hoodies, sweatpants and t-shirts because that is all you live in when you are a nanny.

I hope this is a bit helpful!
