[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How? Are they paying for a business cell phone, and they have access to the history, AND your minute-by-minute location?[/quote]

No, they said through an app like Find My iPhone.

They also have cameras & the dad will be home some days and I've told them I'll be using an app that I can update and they can see the stream of updates live. Tracking my phone isn't something I'm comfortable with... [/quote]
They clearly don't trust you. How long have you been together?[/quote]

That's the sad part - I haven't even started with them yet.

Tracking my phone was never mentioned during any (3) of our interviews, nor is it mentioned in the contract.

I understand the parents wanting to protect their child and being nervous having a nanny. But trust is SO important in order to form a great, long lasting relationship. I'm feeling very discouraged right now, and am definitely questioning my decision to accept the position with a family I thought was going to be wonderful and even my "dream job/family". Ugh.

I am confused. They want to track your location of your phone use? What do they hope to learn? If they provided the phone and paid the bill thn maybe because I would continue to use my personal phone for personal calls and texts and I see no reason to hide my location.[/quote]

They want to track my location. Nothing to do with calls or texts.

In that case, acknowledge their concern and that you do provide references and a clean background check to establish your trustworthiness. Be sure to state "I do not do tracking of any kind." Make it clear as day, no room for ambiguity here.

Also, I would not put a lot of energy into arguing about it. If they feel very strongly then they need to find someone else. Do not quit though, let them make the decision. You can not file for unemployment while you search for another job if you quit.[/quote]
