[quote=Anonymous]We have cameras on 24/7 since our son was born 5 years ago.  We've had nannies for the past 3.5 years.  Nanny cams are somewhat dishonest.  Visible cameras are necessary.

Early on we'd check the cameras often when we had a new babysitter or nanny.  Now its when there are 'issues' that occurred.  The cameras are very visible and have been discussed.  Our nanny/babysitters have been excellent and loyal.  The cameras helped BUILD TRUST.  We saw we had loving nannies that sincerely cared for our son.  Do they slack off, look at their phone too much, etc? Yes, but that's not an issue. They are only human, and we know they'll care for our child, call us if they're sick, show patience that we could only hope for.   Those are the most important issues.  We'd never embarrass them by directly critiquing something that was seen.   Our nannies have lied to us about insignificant things....."Johnny went to bed at 8:30' when they actually went to bed much later.  Without the cameras the trust would not have been quite as high.

We did have 1 babysitter that was terrible.  Without the cameras we could have put our son in danger.

So, when I read about a nanny  not wanting to work for someone with cameras I wonder....No parent is going to waste their life watching hours and hours of footage.  When Johnny falls down and gets a bad bruise by no fault of the nanny, the CAMERA vindicates them and helps the parents realize things happen.  None of us is perfect and 99% of parents aren't looking for anyone that is perfect.  If someone is unreasonable with a camera, they will be unreasonable without out one too.

In 2018 cameras are necessary.  Our cameras have caught nosey neighbors peaking in when we weren't home, a vandal, and a mid-day thief entering our home and stealing property before my husband caught him (and he ran).  We lived in a fairly affluent neighborhood when all 3 episodes occurred.  The cameras helped me sleep at night.  We caught the vandal, have a picture in the paper of the thief, and know who not to trust in that neighborhood previous neighborhood.  We live in a world full of cameras....deal with it.  [/quote]
