[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have a[b] guest wifi[/b] and she has access to that - [b]DH doesn't like to give out our regular wifi pw to anyone[/b], because apparently if you really know what you're doing, you can see the other devices and it's easier to hack? I don't know anything about that, but for practical purposes, we have a wifi we can give [b]my family and babysitters[/b] when they're over.

I do make it clear that I expect personal phone to be limited to nap times, but we don't have a GPS in the car. I might send a text during the day. My parents may want to Skype with the kids while the nanny is on duty. I make my preferences known, I expect about 90% compliance on this issue, and as far as I can tell, that's what I'm getting and I'm happy with it. I think the practical considerations for us mean that she should have wifi access on the job, and I trust that it's not being abused. [/quote]

Your husband thinks your nanny might use your wifi password to spy on you?

I've bolded the details you missed. It's no one specific that he's worried about. We don't give the wifi pw to anyone. He set up a guest wifi account that is given to all guests, nanny included. So even my mom doesn't have the regular wifi pw, she gets the guest account. Same with my ILs. Everyone who needs wifi, has functioning wifi access on the guest account, so it's all the same to them. It's more secure for some technical reasons I don't care to find out about. [/quote]

This is not so crazy. If the other computers in the home are networked, it is fairly easy to get to them from any networked device. If they keep personal and financial information on those computers, they might not want to share. Anyone tech savvy enough to set up a guest password is probably also savvy enough to network the household.[/quote]
