Dress Code

If you are working for a hospital, the dress code is fairly simple. It's whatever you're told.

With private care, there is certainly more flexibility. Some agencies try to set some standards, but that doesn't necessarily work.

My private clients often don't want people to think that they need a caregiver, though, and definitely don't want to be seen in public with one....
I can't pass myself off as a visiting niece or bodyguard, though, so even if they are in a wheel chair the safe choice is to look like I might be the personal trainer taking them over to the club.

Neatly pressed khaki slacks and a fitted short-sleeve blouse are usually safe choices.
