[quote=Anonymous]Interesting that the remarks against cameras are all from nannies not from MBs. Why don't you try being in our shoes before you judge. I work because I HAVE to not because I want to so your comments about how we should stay home if we can't trust someone with our children are completely unhelpful. My husband is in the Army and while he is serving our country he doesn't make enough to support us on his own so I have to work too. Because of my husbands military service we live thousands of miles from any family so I have NO support here either. I have cameras, not because I'm afraid of abuse, all I can do it hope my instincts and research into nannies background etc is enough to ensure I haven't hired someone who is abusive. I have cameras because my children are too little to be able to talk and tell me how the nanny is with them. There are plenty of "ok" nannies who won't abuse my children and keep them safe but they won't be loving to them etc when I'm not around. THAT'S why I have cameras. We've had several nannies (not because they haven't been excellent but because they moved on to do other things with their lives) and when we have a new nanny start I find the cameras helpful (and for the record I tell the nannies about them). Once they've been with us for a while I don't use the cameras anymore. So before you start judging me why don't you think about what's it's like to HAVE to work and take care of my family by myself while my husband is deployed.[/quote]
