Do you have a "nanny-cam"?
Family & Parenting / 11:24 PM - Saturday May 29, 2010

Do you have a "nanny-cam"?

Do you have one because you had suspicions about your nanny? Or was it just a precaution?

If you don't have one, is it because you simply trust your nanny, or because of the cost, or the hassle..?

No but I'm a stay at home mom at the moment. When I do have to get a sitter you best believe I'm getting a nanny cam. I have a hard time trusting anyone with my child. I saw some show on tv where they caught this nanny on hidden camera throwing this baby and shoving a bottle in his mouth. It was awful and it made my stomach turn. If I caught my nanny or sitter doing this,it would take everything in me not to kick her ass

I believe if I had a nanny, I would have a nanny cam. Probably would have told the nanny during her interview that I would be using one.

I don't have a nanny-cam because I simply refuse to leave my kids with a babysitter. People think I'm sick but I absolutely cannot fathom leaving them with a stranger because I know I couldn't live with myself if something happened to them. If I can't take them with me than I make arrangements so my husband can watch them or I don't go at all, it's that simple.

I happened to catch a show on A&E the other day about child abuse which showed video's captured by nanny-cam's and showed children being beaten and thrown on the floor by their babysitters. Things like this just reinforce my thinking that it's really a bad idea to leave your kids with someone who isn't as emotionally invested in them as you are.

Never had a nanny, never needed a nanny-cam.
