5 Reasons Why Your Nanny Should Wear A Uniform

In Kenya, nanny uniforms or house maid uniforms are work clothes worn by ladies in this profession or line of work. In the recent year, both the nannies and the employers are warming up to the idea of nannies being dressed in uniforms, unlike some time back when this was not thought about. The advantages of encouraging your nanny to wear uniform are vast and below are a few.

Protect Street Clothes
 .

A nanny’s job entails a lot of spending time with the babes, entertaining them, training them, feeding them and many other baby related activities. Nanny’s roles also involve some level of cooking and cleaning activities in the kitchen. All these activities will make her clothes dirty and therefore, frequent washing is necessary. With time, this will result to her clothes being worn out and tattered, and will force her to keeping incurring cost of buying new clothes. A nanny's uniform will come in handy to protect and preserve her street clothes from frequently need for replacement.

Comfort and Ease of work
 .

House help uniforms in Kenya are designed with functionality and comfort in mind especially if bought from suppliers specialized in making maids' uniforms. These uniforms allow free movements, turns and folds. This is a vital requirement for your nanny when she is carrying out her day to-day job. This freedom allows her to do her job comfortably without feeling too cramped-up. 

Look Decent and Presentable
 .

Nanny uniforms give an employer some sort of say on the type of attire a nanny will wear while in the employer’s home. An employer is able to, when purchasing the uniform, decide on the height, shape, fitting, colour and quality of the fabric of the uniform. In cases where a nanny would otherwise not be presentable or decent because of their wardrobe choice, a nanny uniform does come in handy.

This will also alleviate any kind of friction between the nanny and the employer due to choice of clothing.

 Hygiene
 .

In addition to looking decent and presentable, uniforms assist employers in ensuring personal hygiene and cleanliness of the helps. This will be achieved by employers choosing brightly coloured fabric for the uniforms that clearly show dirt stains.

Identification
 .

Whenever, a nanny is outside the house with the children, the uniform will make them easily identifiable to anyone. This is an advantageous situation to both the nanny and the employer especially with security issues in Kenya.
