hey y'all! okay, so tomorrow I'm starting my new job at a gym. I'm going to be taking care of people's kids while they're working out. I saw my manager today at WalMart and I asked her what to wear and she said anything that covers you up and parents wouldn't freak out about. So I just bought two pairs of spandex-like work out pants that come to the middle of my calf. would you be offended if someone who was keeping your kid at a gym was wearing those? she's really laid back but I still don't know how it looks from a parent's point of view.

p.s. my mom said that when she used to drop me off at the gym day care when she worked out that's what the workers were wearing, but that was 10-15 years ago.. haha

HELP! :)

    Yes, those pants are fine :) I would guess they probably dont want you wearing just a sports bra or shirt that shows your belly. Good luck with your new job!

    I wouldn't have a problem with that... that's what the ladies at my gym wear. They have a uniform shirt that they have to wear with it (t-shirt)...

    I think you're safe!

    i personally wouldn't be bothered what the staff were wearing as long as the clothes are safe(ie no safety pins hanging off them! lol) but in a gym enviroment workout pants are perfectly fine(from a mum's point of view) and i live in these and prefer them as it's easier to run about after kids in them

    I'm not a parent, but if I were, I don't think I'd be offended lol. It sounds perfectly reasonable to me

    thanks so much, that makes me feel so much better! yeah, I think she thought I was talking about shorts, but she wears the same pants that I bought to work so I figured it'd be fine, thanks for the reassurance!

    The pants are fine for the bottom half, but I'd make sure you wore something on the top half as well!

    Good luck with the new job - do you get free gym membership?

    I wouldn't have a problem with you wearing those pants. My problem comes from seeing girls/women that let their puppies hang out and have their belly's exposed. Not very professional to me.

    LOL

    Those pants are totally situation appropriate. My mom's a daycare worker and she wears slightly looser pants (but not dress pants). She doesn't work in a gym though - the kidlets will probably be exposed to a little more from the people walking by....Defintely would do a t-shirt with it (

    haha we have a staff polo so I don't have to pick anything to wear! thank God! yes I get a free membership which will definitely be a booster on my weight loss since all of the classes are free and I get a free personal trainer!

    Your outfit sounds good to me. Clearly you need to be ready to run after the little scamps and a workout outfit sounds like it will do the job!
