Keeping an Eye on Your Nanny
May 15, 2009
If the stories on the news can teach us anything it’s that we must be extremely cautious about the people we leave our children with. Whether you find them on Craigslist or down the street, many parents simply have to trust that babysitters and nannies are doing their job and doing it responsibly. But this kind of blind trust is understandably difficult for any conscientious parent. But the good news is that parents do have some options.
If you’re at all suspicious of your nanny or you are experiencing any trepidation about an individual, consider installing some wireless security cameras. These can help you monitor your babysitter’s behavior when he/she doesn’t think anyone can see them. Many people have misgivings about unknowingly videotaping others, but just as many weigh that against the confirmation that your children are safe. If you do view physical, verbal, or emotional abuse against your children, contact the appropriate authorities immediately.
