I mean, there is no way to explain how I was. I just wanted it to stop. The tiny cameras, which can be hidden in places such as household paintings, are having a tremendous effect on the turnover rate of in-home caregivers. It is estimated that as many as 70 percent of caregivers lose their jobs because of what parents see on videotape. Stores like the Detective Store and Kid-View, both in the New York area, have seen sales jump by 30 percent in the last six months.
Owners often hear back from parents who buy the cameras.
It's just parents who can go to work and actually have the peace of mind that the nanny is doing the job. Surveillance cameras can be concealed in many ways More often, the problems with nannies involve neglect rather than abuse. I found nannies that like to read their books while my children are in the pool, which is unacceptable. For the 30 percent that see what they like and like what they see, they should be giving that girl a bonus, give her a raise. But advocacy groups for nannies say secret videotaping is an invasion of privacy that breaks the trust between parents and child-care providers.
