[quote=Anonymous]My grad student nanny who I thought was more responsible than this invited her boyfriend over during the day while my baby was napping. I found some suspicious things (extra dishes in the sink, take out food containers) so I reviewed the footage and found her making out with her boyfriend while my baby was napping on the Rock and play. While she was not neglectful and provided excellent care, she was fired.

Nannies, you need to realize you are working, not taking MB's job. The family's house is your place of work. A lot of nannies think that you are substitute mom. There is a big difference between nanny and being a mom.

What my nanny did, a single MB may have done, which is to invite boyfriend over during the day and things just got a little out of hand. Never mistake for a second that the family home is not your home. In your home, you may parade around naked, that is your right. You have a right not to be filmed in your home. As a nanny, the family's home is your place of employment and you need to act accordingly.

If you are ok with a camera at a public place, this is your warning now. The family's house is your place of work, not your own home. Do not confuse that. Also you do not have a right to expectation of privacy, except in bathroom and sleeping areas. The law is not implicit, but explicit on this. If you did not know that before, you do now.

If you have a problem with any of this, then you should really change careers.
