[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. How should I approach this conversation with them, without seeming defensive? I'm actually very happy with this job otherwise, but it's been bothering me and I need to respect what I'm feeling and say something to them about it.

Well honestly, you should be a little bit defensive. They were disingenuous from the beginning and that just shows you that theres other things they could be lying to you about or not being up front about. The fact that the mom realized you could have found the camera, was visibly shocked about it in front of you yet still never said anything in regards to it. That seems very off to me and shady. Personally I would approach them about it and let them know I was not comfortable with being filmed without my knowledge and felt it odd because now im thinking what else they arent being honest about. If they lie about it or refuse to change anything or discuss with you and especially admit that they were wrong in not being up front with you about it, I would start my search for a new job. Because filming someone without their knowledge is plain rude. Its an invasion of privacy. Id be wondering if they had cameras in the bathroom or not.

Any who, since you are obviously not as appalled as I would be lol, I would ask both parents to sit down to speak with you and then before you begin the conversation, ask them to please be honest going forth in the conversation and in return you will as well. Let them know that you noticed the first camera and you're curious if there are more in the house, whether or not they are live feed, how often they check them. And finally ask why you were not warned about the cameras in the first place. Let them know that you feel its fine for the cameras to be there, you feel they have a right to view whats going on in their home with their child. But you feel uncomfortable being filmed without your knowledge and its unprofessional that they weren't honest with you from the beginning.[/quote]
