Is it okay to use a nanny cam?

Justifying the Nanny Cam

Whether or not you decide to try out a nanny spy camera depends on how much you trust the nanny you just hired, how old your children are, and if this is the first time you've ever left your children with someone other than family. It's important to ask yourself some soul-searching questions before going the route of a nanny cam:

Are you planning on using a nanny cam just for a few weeks until you feel certain that all is well on the home front?
How critical do you think you'll be when you see your nanny in action? Just because she does things differently than you would do, doesn't mean she's doing something wrong.
Where would you put the nanny cam in your home?

Yes, it's justifiable to want to protect your children anyway you can and for some people, that means using a nanny cam as added security. Sometimes we have to be brutally honest with ourselves. If the nanny cam becomes your obsession, maybe you're not ready to leave your kids with a nanny at all. On the other hand, maybe your plan is to use the nanny cam for a week or so just to put your mind at ease.
