Potential DCP Asked If Ok To Bring In Webcam?

Be careful if you enroll this family.

Just because you tell him no, doesn't mean he won't find another way to do it.


NOT saying he will. Just something I wouldn't put past parents now days.

There aren't many that simply take the word no for what it's worth.

I remember a thread where a mom insisted she had every right to send a tiny little recording device to preschool hidden in her daughters hair bows. There ARE parents out there that will do it regardless of whether you give consent. I know any parent could do it at any time, but I wouldn't take a parent that asked... I know that doesn't make sense, but I just wouldn't take them.

I think I would want to respond that if he did not trust me or feel I was capable of properly caring for his child, then it would be best if he continued his search for child care. I would not feel comfortable providing care for a child when the parent did not trust me, or believe me capable.

Plus, I would not want to feel under the microscope all day at work in my own home.

I would say absolutely! But, since this is a group setting, the only place baby would be by himself would be in his crib. So, I can hook it up for you to watch him nap if you want. I will turn it on when I lay him down.

No way. I have too much to hide.

Haha hahaha! !!!!!!!!!

Yes!

If you don't already have a "no diaper bags" and "no toys from home" policy, please add it.

I have found stuff in diaper bags that should NOT be in reach of children!

Oh no!

I can just imagine...you are making lunch for 6 other kiddos, some of which are whiney toddlers just STARVING at your feet. Baby wakes up, but you can't get in there right away. You call over "I'm getting there, sweetie, give me 5 minutes".

Just then, the phone rings, and baby's mom is on the other side saying "why don't you go pick up my baby?"

I haven't heard back from this dad. Maybe he didn't like my email and is now considering a nanny, ! I just said that I would not allow a webcam to be brought in because it would jeopardize the privacy of the others enrolled.
Thank you everyone for your input!!
