They knew the kids liked me and that was what mattered to them.

True. I did several years of babysitting in the past and parents never worried about recording, that I know of anyway. They knew the kids liked me and that was what mattered to them.
Children are little angels, even when they are little devils.
They are also our future. -
I've done this for almost 18 years. The times I wished I had a camera were during licensing visits and interviews with prospective clients.Comment

To all the providers
I just wanted to chime in here because of all the rediculois nieve people saying to trust your providers. Sure maybe if they are a family member but I will never trust someone that I don’t know. And I don’t know about you but you are not getting to know that provider by just going over to there at home daycare and talking to them. There are SOOOOOO many incidents where the parent thought the provider or caregiver was trustworthy and they put on such a great smile and are so great with the kids when they are there for drop off and pick up, and you absolutely do not know FOR SURE what that person could be doing with your child in the day. People put on a show for the parents, point blank I have seen it many times where they thought they could trust them and did and they shouldn’t have.And no it’s no always abuse happening but things you just wouldn’t want your child doing, like for example bieng left to cry in a room for a long period of time. I cringe every time I think about that happening to my daughter. I want her to have love and attention. I had worked in many daycare centers and have had my own in home daycare and now work at an in Home Daycare and I will always believe that you just cannot trust someone with your child that you wouldn’t consider a great friend or family member. And someone even the closest people to you end up decorating you and doing the wrong thing!
Point is stop assuming that you have the right for some random parent to trust you with their child. Trust me they want to trust you! But I’m this day and age you just can’t, in other words you should not.Comment

It sounds like you have figured out how to address your concerns/fears and are caring for your own child!
Good for you! Everyone needs to do what they need to do for their own comfort level in regards to raising their child.
I also know that just because you have had a bad experience or maybe seen some things that were less than your expectations it doesn't mean all daycare providers are putting on a show for parents.
For every bad dishonest provider in business, there are a 100 trustworthy honest providers that really do this job for the love of the kids they care for.
Please don't paint them all with the same brush.Comment

The biggest risk to your child's life is YOU. The people you believe are safer to be with your child are way more dangerous than child care providers.

Would you do us the favor and actually DO the research?
Start here:*
Perpetrator Relationship
Victim data were analyzed by relationship of (duplicate count) victims to their perpetrators. Four-fifths (81.2%) of victims were maltreated by a parent either acting alone or with someone else. Nearly two-fifths (36.8%) of victims were maltreated by their mother acting alone. One-fifth (19.0%) of victims were maltreated by their father acting alone. One-fifth (18.9%) of victims were maltreated by both parents. Thirteen percent (12.8%) of victims were maltreated by a perpetrator who was not a parent of the child. (See exhibit 3–H and related notes.)
Read the entire thing if you are*TRULY*concerned about the children. Pay special attention to the data regarding who actually injures and kills children. You will see study after study that child care providers are a mere blip on the radar.*
Exhibit 3–H Victims by Perpetrator Relationship, 2011 (duplicate count)
Perpetrator Relationship
Relationship Number PERCENTAGE
Mother (number) 253,107 PERCENTAGE 36.8
Father (number) 130,670 PERCENTAGE 19.0
Mother and Father(number) 129,793 PERCENTAGE 18.9
Mother and Other (number) 38,927 PERCENTAGE 5.7
Partner of Parent (Male) (number)16,734 PERCENTAGE 2.4
Relative (Male) (number) 19,905 PERCENTAGE 2.8
Child Daycare Provider(number) 2,474 PERCENTAGE 0.4
You will find appalling crimes committed on a daily basis because nobody is watching the parents.*Last edited by nannyde; 02-13-2018, 05:46 AM.Comment

Nannyde has provided the reality check people need here. Most abuse happens by a family member. The closer they are the more likely they are to abuse. Providers account for 0.04% of abuse. So saying you trust your family member shows how naive YOU are.
I have worked in centres where I was appalled at how the staff treated the kids. Not abuse by any stretch but making snide sarcastic comments or being generally condescending. None of that would be caught on tape! Having said that I know a LOT MORE parents who treat their kids like garbage. Basically if you want your child to have the best life, stay home and raise them otherwise you have no choice but to blindly trust someone else with your child. I quit my high paying job and stayed home for this very reason. I take care of other peoples kids because I want to provide quality care for kids and families. What I see more often than not though are parents wanting to pay next to nothing for a half assed provider. They see I run a quality program, their kids love me and they try and treat me like crap by pushing my policies. These parents don’t care about abuse, they care about their money. The parents that do appreciate quality are all too eager to pay whatever I charge. Saying all parents even care is beyond naive.
Oh and please don’t say some parents don’t have the choice. There is always a choice it just might be a hard one.Comment

Do these cameras record every day? And if so how do you store the video and how long can you keep the stored video?Other threads about cameras.
I have cameras in my home. I have 6 inside and 6 outside.
I would NEVER allow a parent to view them. It would be a direct violation of privacy for other children/families.
I have them for liability reasons and to protect myself.
This is a good example of why I would never allow parents to view or have access to video feeds.Comment

I have a Night Owl system
My cameras have record options so I can set them to continuously record, record only during certain hours/days or record only when motion or activity within the camera view occurs.
The system records directly to a DVR that has storage capabilities but how much or length of time that is savable depends on how many cameras I have recording and resolution/clarity settings etc.
As for storage, the packaging says "User video is never transmitted to our server nor any third party server, EVER. Once setup is complete, your cameras and smartphone operate as peer-to-peer devices.
Night Owl HD App also allows you to easily play back video from multiple cameras in one screen on your smart device. Plus, you have the ability to play back up to 1 year of video footage without ever having to touch the DVR again. Our intuitive app can even store the video or picture directly onto your smart device."Comment

My only concern is incidental nudity. I can position cameras in a way that my body blocks diaper changes....but what about that kid that runs out of the bathroom with his pants down past his knees asking for help?Comment

You are the only one that sees the footage.
Nothing is uploaded to any online servers or places you don't want footage to go. So other than you (and those that are actually present in the moment) no one will see little Jerry sprinting from the bathroom in all his naked glory! :
