[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Of course all nannies want to know if there are cameras. [b]They all[/b] claim that they change their shirts in our living rooms or something. But as others have said, they forget it's not THEIR house, it's not THEIR private space. If they want privacy to pick a wedgie or change their shirt after being spit up on, that's what the bathroom is for.

[b]They all [/b]claim they're self-conscious knowing they're on camera - that they can't be as silly with the kids as they would be without cameras. So they're never silly with kids outside the house? Come on. I've sung to my babies walking through Costco, I taught my DD gymnastics at the playground, etc.

[b]They[/b] claim [b]they[/b] don't know what we're doing with the video. Um, we're watching it to make sure you're not beating our kids and not neglecting them for your phone or tv shows. We're watching it to make sure you're not letting the kids watch tv when we've told you they're not to, that you're reading to them after we've asked that you do. Our husbands aren't jacking off to the sight of you, and we're not sitting with our friends drinking beers, watching and laughing while you hula hoop with our toddler.

References are well and good, but they're not everything. [/quote]

1) Work on your tendency to stereotype. You do not know how "all" nannies feel, nor do you know their reasoning. You can only address specific opinions expressed here, and they do not represent the opinions of every nanny ever.

2) You clearly have very little respect for or trust in nannies, so might I suggest checking into childcare options with more oversight? No one is forcing you to use a nanny, which obviously makes you uncomfortable to the point you feel entitled to violate her by filming her in secret.[/quote]

It's not violating a nanny's privacy to film them in my house, which is their workplace. They should have no expectation of privacy except in the bathroom (or their bedroom also if live-in). [/quote]
