Furthermore, childcare workers, nurses, doctors, mechanics, cooks, teachers, and others, are often unable to locate the specific item that is needed necessitating leaving their work or persons in their charge in order to retrieve the needed item.

The present invention provides a wearable storage device which includes an apron type member manufactured from a first predetermined material and having a first predetermined shape and a first predetermined size. A plurality of storage members are disposed on at least a first side of such apron type member at a plurality of predetermined locations thereon.

Such care kit further includes a plurality of predetermined items related to at least one of caring for and teaching at least one predetermined person in a predetermined manner. Such plurality of predetermined items at least one of fit within such plurality of storage members, hang from such plurality of storage members, attach to such plurality of storage members, and a combination thereof.

It is, therefore, one of the primary objects of the present invention to provide a device which is lightweight and can be worn over a user\'s everyday clothing in a comfortable manner and which includes a plurality of at least one of pockets, compartments, hooks, loops, and a combination thereof such that a plurality of predetermined items may be stored in and on such plurality of at least one of pockets, compartments, hooks, loops, and such combination thereof.

An additional object of the present invention is to provide an apron type member which can be worn by a user, such as a nurse, a doctor, a teacher, a daycare worker, a chef, and the like, such apron type member having a plurality of storage members disposed thereon for enabling such user to store various items in and on such storage members such that such various items are close at hand, easily accessible, and out of reach of children and others.
