Nanny cams?

rainfallkirainfallki member

Has anyone looked into or installed any "nanny cams" for the babysitters?  Any suggestions or recommendations?  

 

Thanks!

    I haven't, and I honestly think they're creepy.  I wouldn't work as a nanny for a family that insisted on watching every move I made while they were gone.  I wouldn't work for any company that wanted to monitor my entire time at work.  If I were looking for a nanny, I'd just find one that I trusted!

    The only benefit I can see to having a nanny cam is being able to see LO while at work.  I miss DD a lot when she's at church preschool two mornings a week, and I'd love to be able to peek in on her and see how she's doing.  A lot of daycares provide that.  But I wouldn't spend thousands of dollars to be able to do so if I were hiring a nanny to watch her from my home.

    I'm interested in them too!!

    As a note on the 'spying' comments - my mom had babysitters for us that she trusted, and there have been people in my life that I've trusted? people turn out to be freaks and that + my child = NOT HAPPENING Smile ? (I man this in a nice way, not being snarky/b!tchy etc.)

    I second this. Just because you know someone, doesn't mean you know everything about them.

    If you are (or know someone who is) technologically savvy, just get an IP camera.  It won't cost thousands of dollars, we got ours online for $90 or so.  It's what we use for our baby monitor.  Hooks up to our secure wireless internet and we've set it up so it's accessible externally - meaning my husband can see her when he's at work.  Pan, tilt, zoom, night vision...and we both have apps on our phones (iphone & andriod) to view the feed.
