[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]A nanny can seem great in the interview, her references can be glowing, she can come from a reputable agency, do a great trial/transition and charge well above market and still not be a great nanny, and sometimes the only way to know for sure is with a camera. If the nanny KNOWS there is a camera there, she may act differently in those rooms. At the end of the day, there is a lot of gray area between putting a child in danger and being a great nanny, but most MBs are paying for more than just someone to keep their kids out of danger ... And I would much rather have a good nanny find a camera and quit than risk a bad nanny with my children. Nannies are replaceable. Children are not.

FWIW - I am not advocating for using a camera for months and months - just in the beginning till you know for sure. If you can't trust your nanny after months or years, that is a different, much larger problem.[/quote]

I agree with this. Cameras are not just about catching abuse but catching someone not doing their job which is why the nannies on this board freak out so much whenever a camera is mentioned. There seem to be a good number of nannies with a bad work ethic and skills in pretending to be active and attentive when the parent is around in the morning/evening. [/quote]
