Article: Leaving your dangling earrings, necklaces, and bracelets at home is safer for the kids, ensuring there is nothing for the child or baby to pull off and potentially choke on. Besides, you don't want your favorite beaded necklace broken or children pulling on your bracelet. Take out any piercings before your babysitting job or hide them as best you can along with your tattoos. Kids may find you unapproachable if you have too many visible tattoos whereas babies love to grab things and might decide to yank on your piercing. If you feel the need to wear makeup, keep it simple so you look like you're going to work and not out to a party. Don't overdo it by wearing tons of eye liner, lipstick or blush. Choose a professional-looking hairstyle that won't get in your way while you work. With longer hairstyles, wearing your hair up in a ponytail looks professional and ensures you will be able to move around with minimal distraction from your hair.  If you have dyed hair in bright colors such as red, blue, green, etc., put it up in a ponytail for the first couple babysitting jobs so parents and kids can get used to it slowly. Try pinning your hair back in a barrette if your hair is too short to tie up.

What is a summary?
Avoid wearing hanging jewelry. Hide your tattoos and piercings. Keep the makeup minimal. Keep your hair out of your face.
