[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]thank you to the last poster.. she is active with the kids and i believe does initiate things with them.. i think i mentioned  - my kids love her..
right now finding a new nanny will be hard on the kids given the consistency they need and other circumstances going on... but i realize i need to do my part in warnings and the like.. i just can't stand the defensiveness and hate that I don't have "proof"..
[b]I do not want to feel like i need a nanny cam![/quote][/b]

I actually think a nanny cam might be a great idea here. Tell your nanny about it first of course. I would come at it from an angle of "We've been getting some conflicting reports from the kids about what they do during the day. Since it's notoriously difficult to get a straight story out of kids, we thought installing a camera might be the best way to see what they get up to during the day." You might even mention some stuff about missing your kids during the day and wanting to feel closer to them, etc etc. Also use this time to remind Nanny of what your expect for your kids during the day.

This way, you can see if Nanny changes her behavior. If she does, great, your warning worked and all is well. If not, then you tried giving her a warning and now have concrete proof of what goes on during the day.[/quote]
