[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Beyond trusting the person who spends more hours each day than you... I'm not the computer whiz in our house, but we have a young teenager, and DH has a way to access the router and find out what Internet site the wifi connected to and when/how long. What's the problem with trust but verify it isn't being abused/ spot check? I would be upfront with the nanny about my expectations (you know, like an adult)-- I expect that you will only be on the wifi during naps and in unusual situation/ for kid related reasons. I may occasionally check behind you. I would never hire someone unless I trusted them to use the wifi responsibly. I also don't expect them to blow through their data. Also, I don't see the point. For example. Candy Crush type games. Very addictive, can eat up hours, and require very little internet connectivity. [/quote] If you have to double check, you don't trust them.[/quote] Personally, I probably would never get around to checking. Or only if I suspected something isn't right, or it seems off. (Spicy sense tingling). But there are some pretty uptight parents on here, like I hour in the middle of naptime lady. And I don't understand why they don't give out the password and then verify appropriate use? [/quote] SAM have the time to check up on their nannies, but as a career woman I don't have time to come home every night and browse wifi reports to see if my nanny is being good, so it's easier for me to just restrict the time she can use it, then I know everything is kosher.[/quote] Or you could treat the hired professional like a f**king adult, let her do her job and not worry about whether she was streaming a cooking podcast (Splendid Table is awesome!) while your kid colors. You can't control everything.[/quote]
