Yes, OP, we are crazy because we expect an employee to work on the clock and not watch TV. Sometimes, yes, a nanny looks at the monitor the whole time and there is no supervisor to report this to us. The issue is trust. Until a NF trusts their nanny, they should invest in nanny cams to ensure nannies are only taking a "little break".

What a stupid question. Seriously.

Wow...just wow... Maybe your boss should secretly install a camera in your private office... you know, just until he can trust you. 
What do you think he would catch? Probably nothing more than a lot of embarrassing stuff that every person does without thinking when they think no one is watching. Is that an environment you'd want to work in, having someone watch your every private move?! Ridiculous... you need to install a nanny cam to trust your nanny... I can't get over it

To the OP, most people don't understand the nature of our work and figure "Well I don't get to watch TV when I'm working, so she shouldn't either." Unfortunately it isn't the same thing. We need down time from the stress of working with kids nonstop. Anyone who doesn't understand this may not be someone you want to work for.[/quote]

Your hostility, PP, is misplaced. There are cameras at my work, and my boss can easily monitor my Internet usage and log in times. I assume I'm being watched and I respect my employers' right to check my work. I also work unusual hours and split shifts and have a remote supervisor. I'm baffled by why you think a nanny should be exempt from any supervision. A nanny cam offers the position of supervision. End of story.

I'm also not convinced that nannying is so very stressful it requires special downtime to watch TV. Childcare is an easy gig, and relatively high paying considering no education is required. I'm sorry you don't appreciate it, but those are the facts.[/quote]
