Snooping petsitter?

bizzogrl asked:


im going out of town for about a week and theres a lady coming into my house every day and feeding my cats, all she needs to do is go into the basement but even i would snoop around so what are some little traps i can set up that would show me if she opens any of our doors upstairs that she would be unable to reset? also if i decide to get nanny cams do i need to have it set up by someone or can i do it myself? and how much do they sell for?

I was thinking about being a babysitter for other people’s kids (obviously) but I was wondering if I’m watching several people’s kids at once regularly at what point would it become a home daycare? I’m just trying to figure out if I need to get a degree in early childhood, get lienced to be a daycare director or what. I just don’t want to get into this and all of a sudden I’m in trouble because I missed something some where. Thanks for your help!
I have been searching the net for sites about home child care but I’m not really finding anything that is telling me what Missouri would require or what they consider the difference is. Does anyone have suggestions on where to look?

I am not shure what to pay my neice to babysit. My grandmother lives right behind us if she needs help or anything goes wrong, and she is a gifted child. I only need her for about 2 hours a day. She has been wanting to help for a long time and I think she is now mature enough. (plus I have Nanny cams.)
What should I pay her per hour?
Thanks for the input.
Just so you don’t think I am irresponsible. I live in a rural neighborhood of nothing but my grandparents and great aunts and uncles surrounding me. So she is covered. Also she helped me install the cameras, so she knows about them.

I work all day at a computer, and wanted to know the best way to keep an eye on my dog at work. Right now, I keep him in his crate all day, but would eventually leave him in a bedroom. Are Nanny Cameras the best option or just Web Cams?
