Re: nursery interview apparel

When you get this job, think about a panama straw hat (with a cord to keep
it on) also loose long sleeved shirt, especially if you have to be out mid
day. Until I found out Ibuprophen made me severely sun sensitive, I burned
after 5 minutes of any sun any time of day, even with sunblock. A cotton
caftan type wrap & wide brim panama hat meant I could go to Disneyland with
the grand kids etc. They used me for portable skade : )
