I can see this issue from both sides. As a caregiver, I wouldn't want my privacy breeched by having cameras in my home that capture not only what I do with the daycare kids, but also what I do in my own private time with my family. I do wonder if there would be some legal issues with it as well. However, I often hear caregivers saying that parents should trust them 100% or find another caregiver...I have a hard time with this because, as a parent, when I had my kids in daycare, I could never have trusted the providers 100% much as I wanted to. I liked and respected my caregivers and felt that my kids were safe and well cared for, but there was always an element of worry about what went on behind closed doors. Abuse does happen and as a parent, I think you can't help but worry a bit. I would not and did not use a nanny cam, but I did go to one daycare centre where they had webcams in the playroom that parents could watch live through the internet and as a parent of a baby who I really did not want to leave, that idea actually really appealed to me. I know that it is different in a centre than in home daycares, because our homes are our private spaces. However, I also feel that when we are working, our homes become work places and no longer private spaces and we should be open to some scrutiny from parents (drop in visits as long as they take the kids home, etc). I don't feel offended in any way by the thought that the parents don't trust me 100% as long as the trust is not so low that they question every little thing. I think it is just a fact of daycare that parents often worry...and with good reason...their children are being raised by strangers! So, I can understand the temptation to use a nanny cam, although I would definitely feel violated if I found out one had been used in my home. I just really see both sides on this!
