In my opinion, the truth is a bit of everything, going case by case.

For example, I had them at one job, at a daycare. I was extremely busy being in a room with multiple children all by myself and thus had no time to be on my phone. The only reason I hated the cameras was because one of my bosses would sit in her office and just watch the live feed constantly and then come out to criticize whatever we were doing, which was pretty ballsy of her considering she nor my other boss would hire anyone else to help me out.

The parents were also meant to be able to view the cameras, though I have no idea if they ever could (that place was so shady), and I had no problem with that. In fact, I WISHED the parents would say something about me busting my ass every day with no help, which is a huge DCFS violation.

Now that I’m a nanny for one child, there are no cameras. I have to say that I’m glad there aren’t, because if there were, I would have to put on this big show all hours of the day, and I wouldn’t be able to let him have time to play alone while I surf my phone for a few minutes to have an unscheduled break.

I understand why parents would want cameras and I would never begrudge them for it, though. If I were a parent, I’d want to be able to check on my child throughout the day. It’s gotta be the hardest thing in the world to trust another person with your kid. My nanny family and I are both lucky in that they trust me enough and I, in turn, don’t have to worry about cameras.

Cameras are just something we (as nannies) have to be prepared for. It’s a little uncomfortable, but if you keep yourself and the child busy (which I admit is hard as a nanny compared to working at a daycare with more kids), the day will fly and the parents will be pleased.
