Op here. If this was my child and I felt the need to put a GPS tracker on the car seat, I would either have a dicussion with the nanny or find another caregiver. I've worked hard to build a good relationship with the parents and the child. I have not given them any reason not to trust me. I just wish they would have either told me they were putting the tracker on the car seat or had a discussion about our working relationship.

If you have nothing to hide and are doing everything "right," then what is the issue with giving the parents a little reassurance with their child.

Who's spying on you for 10 hours a day? No one.

If the parent had said something to OP, she said that she wouldn't have had an issue with it. The issue that nannies have with this isn't the tracking, it's the subterfuge.

My guess is that this has nothing to do with the nanny. MB or DB has severe anxiety about letting the baby go anywhere with anyone because of the possibility of an accident along the way. The other parent knows this is cray cray, and came up with the tracker as a.compromise. Neither one wants to discuss thiss clearly crazy thought process with the nanny.

This scenario just screams anxiety to me, not distrust.

Exactly, this is more of a trust issue. As a previously stated, if they had told me about it, I would not have an issue about it. If they haven't told me about this, what else are they hiding from me. What if they put another one between my seats or somewhere else in my car? I'm a healthcare provider on a as needed basis during the evenings and travel to patients homes. What if they put a tracker somewhere else in my car and they can see where I'm going on my off time. My point is them not telling me about it has creeped me out and now I'm wondering what else they are not telling me about.

They're simply dishonest. Leave.

Honestly, I'm not sure I'd recognize a GPS tracker if I saw one, but in your situation I'd probably just toss it in a trash can somewhere and see if they said anything. I'm not sure why nannies (and yes, I am one) get so uptight about this type of thing. They stuck a GPS on THEIR carseat, not yours. Buy your own if you don't want that happening. When I had a car, I owned the carseats, that way I can let whoever I wanted to use them...for weekend jobs etc. Plus I knew they were installed correctly as well.

I totally agree.

It is not a nanny's responsibility to provide clothes, food, toys or anything else for her charges. This includes carseats.

And if I found out someone had attempted to place a tracking device on my personal vehicle under any circumstance without my knowledge I would run for the hills. Is that even legal?

I've never heard of that type of device. How would it work? Especially if the nanny doesn't know about it or have it connected to her phone?

Op here. It's the tile Bluetooth tracker. You download the app on your phone and can see where the car is.

Understood. Those are quite recognizable. I've never heard of a device that reminds you that you left a child in the car though... A PP mentioned it, and I'm honestly curious who would think that they needed one?
