Probably if they do leave the house at times.
I just always assume I am being filmed when working for a new family. Not to say I think it is a great idea.
Many new nannies are not filmed and do a great job working with kids. It's not that uncommon.

I work from home and do not have a camera. If I worked out of the house, I probably would.

We had one nanny who had great references, everyone said she was really sweet etc. Well she was really sweet when I was around but she was really impatient with my 2 year old when I wasn't around. She loved the baby but clearly didn't like my 2 year old but she never showed it when I was around. She kept him safe but i want more than that in a nanny and I would never have known without the cameras. I never even look at the cameras now because I know our current nanny is fantastic with the children.
I know this was totally off the topic but OP - if I worked at home I would NOT have cameras.
+1. Cameras are not strictly about catching abuse. For many parents, they are more about assessing whether a nanny is mediocre or great. Everyone talks a good game in interviews, but without oversight, it is not always possible to know whether a nanny has a secret soap opera or Iphone habit or a short fuse.

I just ended Tuesday with an after school position. They are travelling and kids have summer camps, but we hope to set up more work in late Aug for the next school year together. As I was leaving, I realized I still had their key. The mom kind of waved it off like I could keep it, but I told her that I would feel better giving it back for the summer, since we aren't even totally sure at this point what they will need with after care and if my schedule would work with their needs for fall.
I think this shows that if you can't trust your nanny/sitter with your home (and kids), that you really shouldn't have hired them in the first place (whether it is you not trusting them or ANYONE).

If you are paranoid enough to need to watch your children and nanny on a camera when you are in the home with them , you have no business entrusting your children to the care of others. Its amazing that parents don't require cameras in their children's classrooms, doctor's offices, friend's houses etc. yet in their own home, with a person that (presumably) they see every day, there is a need to monitor every minute. Baffling.

Uh no it's not a must. Maybe in your opinion.

Sure. If they're paranoid they probably have a few in their own bedrooms.

Since they aren't there ALL the time (sometimes have to go into the office or run errands)?
