[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wonder why the nannies here are so defensive about the idea that their employers want nannycams.  If you don't have anything to hide, you shouldn't care.[/quote]

I explained myself earlier. First of all, there are two separate issues. The first issue is being secretly videotaped. That's a complete violation of trust and I would quit if I found out I was being taped without my knowledge.

As far as an employee telling me in the interview that there will be cameras, that's not something I'm willing to do. I don't have anything to hide but, in my opinion, being videotaped opens the door to being micromanaged. People do things differently. If I don't do something exactly the same way as the parents it doesn't make it wrong. It's just different. I don't want every move I make or word I say to be scrutinized. Obviously I would not do things I have specifically been told not to do, nor would I ignore directions for what I'm supposed to do. Knowing someone is watching/listening to my every move would make me uncomfortable and if I'm constantly on edge I'm not bring the best nanny I can be. It's a matter of personal preference, just like the decision of whether of not to use cameras. I have no problem with parents who choose to use cameras (as long as the nanny knows) but I would not be a good fit for those families. [/quote]
