She's known you for six weeks - why would she fully trust you after a month and a half?

The question is why she didn't tell you. That's deception. She's guilty of what she's trying to guard against.

I'd be worried about my boss trying to cheat me from day one.

When I turn on my computer in the morning, it says "property of company X. All use is being monitored." I feel that's fair warning. She didn't give you any such disclosure, which is the problem here.

Most of us do not live in a world where we can quit our jobs easily or often. In the real world most of us make do with some level of imperfection/less desirable stuff.

If I'm paid really well I can put up w/ some anxiety. If my boss is the most inspiring, great person I might put up w/ a slightly lower salary. (Might...) If the perks of the job (travel, extra vacation, flexible hours) are fantastic, I might be more flexible on attitude or salary. Etc...

So pick your high horse by all means. But I have nothing to hide in how I do my job, so I can live with an anxious mother if other things about the job work for me.

I can and will deal with anxiety.

I won’t deal with deception. And I save enough that I could feasibly be without a job for 6 months without changing my lifestyle, donations or the way I support my family.

However, I think putting a tracker on the stroller and then not telling the nanny about it sounds like a bad idea.

Exactly. Any nanny should have no problem with the tracker. The key is not being deceptive.

En you should not have childd care and you should stay home and take care of your own children. Trust is why you check references.

+1. Nanny here and I am perfectly fine with a tracker and cameras. It’s the lying (by omission) about it that gives me pause. It sounds like the tip if the iceberg in terms of this employer’s sneakiness and deceit. In a year’s time, she’ll be going through the nanny’s phone and bag.

PP, I’m a nanny... As long as they’re upfront, I don’t understand why having a tracker is a problem. I recommend trackers and cameras.

+1. I’m the same. As a nanny I encourage both. But my employers must be upfront about it.

No, she’s sneaky and dishonest. Very bad characteristics in an employer.

Why would you deserve her trust in 6 weeks? It’s her child her stroller.
Please quit and find other jobs. You are too much.

Is this a serious response.....??!
Lol!!

If you actually find it acceptable to do something deceptive behind another person’s back, then justify the way you did in your response....

Well, you are just beyond.
I have no words.

Clearly OP’s boss is cray cray....

Are you slow, PP? It’s not the tracker - it’s failing to disclose it. How could that have been made any more clear?

It's her first kid & during a pandemic and she told you the truth when you asked. I'd give her pass for now, but explain that you want to know about any cameras or trackers. If something else happens, then move on.

Not me. I bring it up in the interview(s) and put it in the contract. If my employer is then deceptive, I’m gone.
