I wear make-up sometimes and just a little, my mom will only allow that much and says that i shouldn't wear it while baby-sitting. I have lots of stuff in my closet that my mom says is "inappropriate" for baby-sitting too. What should i wear to be a good example? The parents probaly wouldn't want there kids to see there baby-sitter as an example if that is an example that has their naval showing and tons of make-up on.
Try just wearing pants..or shorts, and a regular t-shirt, and pull your hair back into a bun or ponytail, and for the makeup, you can wear SOME but, you don't want to look like a tramp or anything!

If I had a babysitter come around in a short skirt and showing their belly button with tons of make up on it would be safe to say I wouldn't want her back. I think what you wear depends on when your babysitting, if its during the day you want to wear just jeans and a tshirt or maybe some nice track pants, something you can still move in to play with the children. If it's at night and the children will be going to bed then track pants would be the way to go, you don't want to look too much like a 'slob' though, also make sure if you do wear make-up that it looks natural, nothing too over the top.

I dont think theres anything wrong with a cami and a shirt, as long as the cami can be pulled up to cover your chest. As far as makeup goes, like your mom said, don't wear too much, but some eyeliner (thin) is okay, as well as mascara.
Good Luck!! [ xosodapopx3's advice column | Ask xosodapopx3 A Question ]

How about jeans and a regular length t shirt? And keep the make up simple and natural looking.
