[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The reason your nanny is staying out so long OP is because she knows you have the cameras in the home + she probably doesn't like the idea of being filmed, even w/her knowledge. I cannot say I blame her. It sounds like you hired her first, then put the cameras in AFTER she was hired which I think is unfair. Why would you put nanny cams in a few weeks after hiring someone?? Also, as a mother of children her age, trust me...When hiring a young nanny it is almost a given that they will be connected somehow. I know there will be some 20-somethings on here who will flame me for stereotyping and all, but from my own personal experience let me tell you in a nutshell, people in this age range think of their smart phones as an add'l body limb. I rest my case. So not to berate you OP, but your two mistakes here were: A). Hiring a young nanny. A 23 yr. old will get bored all day w/a young baby and will resort to texting/Facebooking/Instagraming/etc. to avoid the boredom and isolation that caring for a young infant entails. and B). Installing the cameras AFTER hiring the nanny. It is unfair to hire a nanny, then tell her after the fact that she will be filmed from now on. Just unfair.[/quote] Stop it with the ageism crap please. All of us aren't like that, and there are those of us who aren't into technology at all. I am 24, my phone is a 5 year old non-smart phone, and the only person I'm texting at work is my boss, or my husband. We could just as easily stereotype all mothers of the same generation you are maligning as inept parents. See how stupid stereotypes are?[/quote]
