[quote=Anonymous]I've worked for a family for 4 months now and they have a 7 month old baby boy who I watch everyday. When I was first hired, they asked if I was comfortable with nanny cams, and MB stressed to me that she wouldn't be watching them often, just to check in and see the baby occasionally throughout her work day. I said that that was fine, and that having cameras for that purpose only (and of course to look back if there were an emergency) was okay with me. I hinted that I wasn't comfortable with being watched all day, and she made it clear that wasn't what she was going to do.

Fast forward a few months. She's a SAHM, and anytime I go into her office to chat with her, I see that she is watching the camera on one of her monitors with the volume all the way up. She does her work on one monitor, and on the other, she ALWAYS has the cameras on with the volume up. She comes running anytime he cries, and comments on things she saw throughout the day. Nothing critical, but things like "I saw DS crawling today with you!" And "Looks like he's pretty cranky, go ahead and put him down for a nap." I really like MB, she's really friendly and has been nothing but nice to me, but it makes me anxious knowing I'm being watched all day and that she can hear everything I'm saying. I don't have anything to hide, but this really annoys me because she doesn't seem to trust me, and also it's just not fun being watched all day. I feel scrutinized and like I can't do my job correctly.

How could I bring this up to MB? Clearly it's her right to watch the cameras whenever she wants, but I really feel like this is way too much. I've proven myself to be nothing but trustworthy. [/quote]
