"Are nanny cams a violation of babsitters' rights?"

When you go about getting a nanny correct me if I am wrong but don't you make sure you can trust this person with your child? Using a nanny cam would not only be a violation of the babysitters rights but also a invasion of privacy, I mean if you want to know what is going on while they are babysitting then ask. The reason I say this is because if you can trust this person why would there be a need to a nanny cam?

If you feel you need to see whats going on or if you suspect something wrong is happening get rid of the nanny, why allow someone you get bad vibes off let take care of your child? Even if it turns out to be just a bad vibe why would you even want to chance that this person is harming your child?
The answer is yes its a violation of their rights,but a piece of advise never have someone you don't trust take care of your child. Children have a sixth sense around adults and people in general and if you just watch the interaction between the two your child will let you know in not so many words if this person is okay or not.
Some tips on making sure you are leaving your child with someone who will protect your child and take care of them instead of harming them is as follows:
1. Make sure they have solid references,
2. Require that person a background check all around to find out that persons history.
3.Let your child interact with that person and watch the way they respond closely,
and lastly make sure your child is as comfortable with this person that you are.
If you do this then you wont need to even think about a nanny cam, or violating that persons right as a person.
Sometimes people get into all this new technology and if you still feel you need a nanny cam all threw out your house advise the person that you do have cameras everywhere and that should further insure that this person does not harm your child in any way.
I have five children and a lesson i learned early in life its very difficult to trust anyone around your children, one thing i do know thou is that my childrens responses to a person not only physically but emotionally like if they dont want to be around that person, if they act as if they are scared then that is a real red flag that this person you are considering as a babsitter isnt a good choice.
I personally try my best not to leave my children with anyone because you never truly completly know that person fully.
Children are very delicate and it is not very wise to have anyone negative around them or anyone they feel uncomfortable around.
Have you ever heard that wise tell babies know you better than you know yourself?
well its true next time you and your child is around someone watch the way your child acts around this person and be careful to take in every little detail because doing this is a way not to violate that persons rights,
you have many ways of going around the concept of violating there rights with out acually doing so.
Learn from people about this person you are considering, ask more than one person and make sure the people that you are recieving the references for that person not only has known that person a very long time but also that they arent friends or family members.
