[quote=Anonymous]So, I've been at this job for a couple of months now. When I started the job with them they never mentioned anything about cameras and I didn't care to ask. Once I started I noticed one camera, because its in a place that's very obvious and visible. I never thought much about it, its okay by me, parents have the right to see whats going on in their home, while (nanny) someone they don't really know is watching over their child. I'm not opposed to cameras, if I were a parent I would have them too.

Months in, in a conversation with my MB I mentioned the word camera, relating to something different (that I had found their back up baby monitor), but before I explained myself better, I could see a brief sing of shock, like I had discovered something I shouldn't have. That and another thing that happened makes me believe that theres a possibility of other cameras that I'm not aware of. Should I be concerned? Is it legal to have hidden cameras in the house to monitor your nanny? Should they have been upfront about it from the beginning and had said something to me, like, "we have x number of cameras in the house"?. I don't need to know where they are. But if you put one in a obvious place and than hid others in the house and never said anything, I see that as a red flag. Is this common? Am I overreacting?

Maybe its how it is, I don't plan on saying anything...just wanted to know whats the right etiquette when it comes to cameras.

Thanks in advance for all the helpful advice/opinions. And if you don't have anything nice or constructive to say, please say nothing at all.[/quote]
