| I'm planning on buying a nanny camera for my home. Do I need to tell the nanny or should I not mention it. I love in DC. |
| You need to tell the nanny. Not every nanny feels comfortable working in a home that has a camera, some do. |
| Tell them if they feel uncomfortable with them. Get rid of the nanny |
|
You need to tell the nanny regardless of the laws in DC. It is the right thing to do. You cannot have any cameras in the bathrooms or any room where the nanny might change.
I am a nanny and I welcome cameras. I work really hard with my charge and want my employers to see it. |
| Nanny here, let her know about them, don’t put them in the bathroom or anything creepy. I’d want to know simply so if I needed to make calls when my charge is sleeping that I could have reasonable privacy when doing so |
| Tell the nanny and disclose locations. |
| Tell the nanny. I am a nanny and always suggest new parents get a nanny cam. I actually like them. However I would quit immediately if I found out there were hidden cameras. |
| Of course all the nannies are telling you that you need to tell them. Legally, you don't. I did not. Almost six years later, no problem. |
I don't know if it's legal or not but of course there's no problem since you have not told them. |
Legally you may not have to tell them, but if you’d like to build a long term relationship based on mutual trust you probably should. I’d quit on the spot if I discovered a hidden camera. |
Our cameras are not hidden, like in a teddy bear. If you turn your head in the right direction, you'd absolutely see them. We just didn't tell anyone about them. |
What state do you live in, PP? Did you record sound as well? |
Why not tell them? And how many nannies have you had? |
| Just install security cameras and tell your nanny about them. No need to call them nanny cams. |
No, we don't record sound. |
