Hey, we’ve aready tried a nanny cam for a month, and the day we took it down, the tire got slashed. My mom has only been living here for a year and a half, and her tire has been slashed 13 times already. It’s our dumb religious neighbor who says I’m the child of Satan just because I scuffed her car when i was parking once. I paid her 100 bucks for an invisible scratch on her car, and said, i hope your’e happy every time she walks out in the street, i hope a fed ex truck will smack her head on. the day my mom moved in, she came busting at the door attacking my mom with questions like, where are you coming from?, what spirituality are you?, you single?, married?, divorced?, retired?, working?, what job ya got?, this your car? and crap like that. I don’t want to go to jail for battery assault, and my mother isn’t going to be forced to find another home. What should I do?
I know this is a serious matter, but please star my question.

I have a job that involves shift work and am planning on using a babysitter to watch my daughter if I have to work during the evening or overnight in my home.

What is a reasonable day or hourly rate? I would be using the sitter’s services maybe 1 or 2 days a week.
I’m not looking for a nanny b/c she is in daycare full-time on weekdays. I just need an occassional babysitter to watch her during my odd shifts.

Caught on nannycam?

kimmers asked:


We recently just hired a nanny to watch our 3 year old twins and we have nanny cams installed in our home for both our child’s safety as well as for sense of ease. Anyways, we caught our nanny on camera going through my lingerie drawers as well as through my closet in our bedroom. We confronted her about it without allowing her to know we have her on camera and she denied it. She didn’t steal anything and simply just looked through our things. She is great with our twins and works wonderfully with our schedule. My husband and I aren’t sure what to do. Any suggestions?
