You thought that was enough, but with the latest and unique accessories in the market, you can still squeeze out upbeat performance from your system.

The Latest Scoop in Home Surveillance

How’s your nanny surveillance system? Still in the doldrums? It is time to give your nannycam system some tweaks. Of course, your home surveillance system works fine, but once you get the latest gadgets to enhance the performance of your video surveillance system, you will wonder why it took you so long.

The new gadgets can be incorporated into your nannycam system, so there is no worry about an expensive overhaul. Now wonder the surveillance freaks are flipping over these gadgets.

* Sophisticated camera and devices. You can combine some features to get better image resolution and real playback time. No more jerky or slow motions; you’ll get the events as it happened.

* The motion sensors once only applicable to bigger and sophisticated systems can now be integrated into your smaller home surveillance system. A motion sensor, as the name indicates, can detect motion and once it does, an email is sent to your PC alerting you to suspicious activities inside your home.

* Water and heat sensor is essential to your nannycam system. You can always call your nanny to investigate if there’s anything amiss, and alert her to take the necessary precautions or steps to stay safe.

* Covert technology has never been better with coin-sized video cameras. The varied features of different models provide you with options to suit your need for a nannycam system. Mini cameras come with built-in recorders and have an internal recording system.

* Wireless transmitters that improve signal clarity and spike up transmission without the nasty radio interferences.

Other Helpful Tips to Tweak Your Nannycam system

If you haven’t hooked up your system to the Internet, it’s about time to make a go at it. It will give you the confidence that you know what is going on at home when you and your partner are out of town for a visit or business appointment. Your children will feel safe knowing that you can still look after their safety, even if both of you are away.

Add fun to your nanny surveillance. Get nanny cams in different guises – clock radios, air purifiers, fake plants, picture frames, stuffed toys, and desk lamps. These are costly, but you don’t have to stuff your house with surveillance cameras when it is the nanny and the kids you just want to monitor.

Nannycam systems should be easy to install and use. Plug it and connect it to a wireless receiver to hook up to your VCR or computer, then you’re done. You can get gadgets for nannycam system in electronic shops online, while high end gadgets can be obtained from specialty-type stores.

As for the budget, you can determine if you want a full blown nannycam system – cameras in every corner of the house, or just a few cameras to keep an eye on the nanny. But whatever you do, let the nanny know there are hidden cameras in your home so you will not run afoul of the law.

Spy Cams & Nanny Cams – 5 Methods to Get Even More From Them

Author: admin

Sep 30



When it comes to home security or office protection, there aren’t too many security options that can match the price or reliability that spy cameras and nanny cams deliver on a regular basis. Wireless spy nanny cams can be a great way to minimize theft, damage and loss while at the same time giving you comfort and peace of mind in knowing that there’s a technical watchdog protecting the things and places that matter the most to you. However, what that doesn’t mean is that, once you have actually bought and installed your micro spy nanny cam, that you just sit back, relax, and let the camera do all the work for you. On the contrary, your part to play has only just begun.

That’s because, while spy cams can help maximize the surveillance that your property is subjected to, that doesn’t mean that they simply repel any potential burglars and thieves. Remember, body worn spy cams and other types of small nanny cameras are designed to hide in plain sight – which means that they’re going to go unnoticed. Now, while you don’t want to attract any extra or unwanted attention to your spy cam, that doesn’t mean that you want to have your home or office appear enticing to criminals either.

Purchasing and having an easy-to-use and reliable spy camera is an important step in your quest to protect your home, family or office as best as you can. But, while it is a vital step, it isn’t the only step that you should take. There are many different things that you can do to help maximize the safety and security of whatever or wherever it is that you want to protect. These security ideals don’t necessarily deal directly with your spy camera. Rather, they work in conjunction with the nanny cam that you may already have in place.

(1) Look Like Your Home

If you aren’t home for the night, don’t make your house appear that it’s empty – and open for “business.” Leave some lights on, or purchase a timing system that can turn lights on and off at set intervals to create the illusion that someone is home. If you have more than one vehicle, park it in the driveway as well. Plus, there are many different kinds of spy cams that are designed to mimic movement and activity.

(2) Take Care Of Your Property

Nanny cams can keep close watch on the outside, but they can’t make your home look cared for and attended to. Trim your bushes, don’t let any plants or trees get overgrown. In addition to being unsightly, a poorly maintained garden can interfere with the operations or the line of sight of any wireless spy cam that you may intend to use.

(3) Keep A List

Anything and everything that’s important or valuable in your home or office should be documented. As well, if you do have any locations in your house that are more valuable or expensive than other, then it makes sense to strategically place a spy cam in those areas to ensure maximum protection and surveillance.

(4) Door And Window Safety

More often than not, criminals and thugs break and enter into homes through windows and doors. These entry points are quite vulnerable, and, as such, should be given extra care and protection. Window bars and deadbolt locks are two simple ideas that you can implement to protect your home or office. Another strong idea is to ensure that you have a reliable and effective wireless spy cam strategically located and focusing on doors and windows.

(5) Use Common Sense

Just be aware of everything that’s going on around you. Pay close attention to your neighborhood and become familiar with, well, the familiar!

How to Screen a Nanny Professionally on Your Own?

Author: admin

Sep 30



Choosing a nanny or au pair for your children is a process that should be organized and performed carefully, to ensure you find someone who can be trusted, will contribute significantly to the development of your child and integrate well into your family.

The step-by-step process described below will help you make an informed decision and choose the best possible nanny for your kids, ensuring their well being and safety.

Step 1 Define requirements and expectations

The first part of the hiring process is to define your exact requirements and expectations. Ask yourself questions and build a list of all requirements, then narrow it down to the most important ones. Are you looking for a nanny in a full-time or part-time position? Does she need to be flexible with over-time? Are you looking for a young, outgoing and energetic nanny or do your kids require an older and more authoritative person? How important to you are tidiness and cleanliness? Is the nanny expected to cook for your kids? Is she expected to drive them around? Are there any additional duties she is expected to perform?

Step 2 Interviews

Once you know what you expect, you can start interviewing the nannies. The interviews should be structured with a standard set of questions that are asked of all candidates. This makes it easier to evaluate and compare the candidates and to ensure that all critical topics are indeed covered.

The phone interview

In order to save time and effort, it is recommended to start with a phone interview. First explain the requirements of the job and the duties it includes. Ask about past experience with similar age groups, the motivation for choosing this sort of profession, the reasons for leaving the previous place of employment, future plans, other responsibilities which may affect the job and any other questions you consider important at this stage. Also ask for names and phone numbers of references. If satisfied with the responses, invite the nanny for a face-to-face interview at your home.

The Face-to-Face interview

In the face-to-face interview, it is time to find as much as possible about the nanny as well as provide her with all necessary information to allow her to decide whether she indeed wants the job. Discuss your child’s personality and routines, review the various duties and explain also the house rules concerning issues such as smoking, visitors, phone use, etc. Inquire on details about the nanny’s views and attitudes on handling crying babies, disciplining a child, toilet-training children, ideas for activities and any other topics of importance to you. Describe certain scenarios and ask the nanny to explain how she would act in such situations.

At some stage of the interview let your children meet the nanny and allow time to observe the interaction between them. Children make it clear when they don’t like someone. Trust your instincts and those of your child.

Step 3 Perform a Personality and risk assessment

Once you are satisfied with the interview results, continue and perform a personality and risk assessment of the potential nanny. A personality and risk assessment is a psychological test that will help you assess potential caregivers by providing a better insight into their personality and traits, as well as an assessment of possible risk factors. Such tests are now available online (search the web for “nanny personality and risk assessments”).

Step 4 Check references

Checking references with previous employers and acquaintances is a sort of interview as well. Expect the previous employer to give you a good reference, but try to read between the lines and ask questions that require a detailed answer and may reveal underlining issues. Such questions may be about what has the previous employer liked and disliked about the nanny, why has she left her position, and whether would she be rehired by the same employer. Pay attention also to the tone of the responses. Is the previous employer excited about the nanny? Is he just being polite or does he really care about helping the nanny to get a new job?

Any red flags or problematic issues identified during steps 2 and 3 should be used to focus your inquiries and be validated or clarified during the reference check stage.

Step 5 Follow-up interview

If needed, interview the nanny again, either face-to-face or over the phone, to discuss and clarify any concerns you have following steps 3 and 4.

Step 6 Run a background check

The last step in the processes is running a background check on the nanny. Use a reputable background screening agency to verify identity, past employment and education and search for criminal records, driving records and more.

Step 7 Spend time with the nanny on a trial period

Before making a final decision, ask the nanny to spend a day or two with you and your kids, on a paid trail period. This period shouldn’t be too long to avoid confusing the kids but it will allow you to see how the nanny interacts with the kids and performs her various tasks.

Tips
Never choose the first candidate you like and interview several potential nannies. To make an informed decision you need several points of comparison. Remember that a great personality does not necessarily translate into a good childcare professional. You aren’t just getting a playmate for your child, but also someone who will safeguard their well-being. 80% of the US Fortune 500 companies and 75% of the UK Times 100 companies use psychological tests to choose their employees. If companies do it, parents definitely should do it when choosing the most important employee of all, the one taking care of their kids. To make the most-informed decision use all available screening tools: interviews, references, personality assessments and background screening. Yet, trust also your (and your kid’s) intuition, which is as important and useful as any other tool. If you feel something isn’t right with a potential nanny, just move to the next one.

Warnings
Most recruitment specialists agree that the validity of interviews is quite low, even when conducted by trained professionals. Interviews often fail to reveal important facts or problematic personality traits, and their predictive value is limited. Parents are usually not trained interviewers; lacking the necessary experience to properly formulate interview questions, read between the lines of what the applicant says, interpret non-verbal signs and body language, etc. This is why using professional tools such as personality and risk assessments are crucial to enhance the effectiveness of the screening process. References are highly subjective and in some cases past employers may even prefer, for various reasons, to omit certain details which may harm the candidate in his search for a new position. The accuracy of the various databases searched through background screening may be limited for various reasons. More than that, having, for example, a clean criminal record means a person has never been convicted of such activity but does not necessarily indicate that a person has never been involved in criminal activity or has a tendency to do so.

Abusive Nannies Caught on Video

Author: admin

Sep 29



Jerry and Sue were busy with their hectic work schedule, so they decided to hire a nanny to take care of their baby girl. When they met a 42-year-old mother of two, named Kara, they thought their prayers had been answered. After interviewing a dozen candidates, they finally found a nanny they really liked. Gradually, as the weeks went by though, the parents noticed certain changes in their daughters’ behavior. Although she seemed healthy, she developed certain peculiarities that made her parents suspicious.

Jerry and Sue purchased a hidden camera disguised as a stuffed animal that they placed on a shelf in their daughter’s room. When they came home from work at the end of the day, they played the video and were horrified at what they saw. They discovered that their trusted nanny Kara had been shaking their little girl to quiet her down when she cried aloud.

They immediately fired the nanny and called the police who later arrested Kara for endangering the welfare of a child.

Unfortunately, this story is all too common these days. Three other stories that I read about in the news while researching this article were as follows,

New York – A nanny who police said slapped, kicked and smothered a 10-month-old girl with a toy to make her stop crying was arrested this week after an enraged father watched the abuse on a newly installed “nanny cam.”

Los Angeles – A nanny was arrested and charged with two counts of risk of injury to a minor after she was observed on videotape hitting, slamming and jerking two 10-month-old twins (1 boy and 1 girl) while they were in her care.

Vermont – A nanny was arrested after being viewed on videotape dropping an 11-month-old boy from a height of three feet above the ground onto a pillow after becoming upset because the youngster wouldn’t eat. This caregiver was also viewed throwing the boy again, kicking him, picking him up by his right arm and throwing him back down again.

These are just some of the disturbing news stories I read while researching this article. In all of these cases, the children were checked out by pediatricians and found to have no serious long-term injuries. (Thank God)
Sadly, some of the other stories I researched did not have the same happy ending.

It’s not easy for a parent to leave his or her child with someone else for the first time, and news stories like these don’t make it any easier. Everyone wants peace of mind when they choose a childcare provider. Generally speaking, most parents feel uncomfortable and a little guilty about leaving their children in the first place. You should do whatever you can do to eliminate some of the concern. A hidden nanny camera can give you the peace of mind you’re looking for and make it easier to leave your children with someone else.

There are many genuinely caring nannies in this world, but how can you tell if the stranger you’ve let into your home is one of the good ones? Covert camera technology makes it possible to make sure your child is getting proper care.

The hidden camera is available in many different forms. It could be the clock on the wall in the baby’s bedroom, a teddy bear on the shelf, or even the VCR or table lamp in the living room. They are easy to install, and can be either wired or wireless depending on your situation. If you are considering purchasing a hidden nanny cam, take the time to do a little research and determine the best one for you. Then decide whether or not you should tell your caregiver that there is a nanny cam in the house somewhere.

While it is perfectly legal to use a hidden nanny cam to keep watch over the nanny without her knowledge, should a nanny find out that she’s being monitored and recorded without her knowledge; you may run the risk of losing a valuable employee. Studies and polls show that most honest nannies are not against the use of video surveillance, just the use of it in secret. If you monitor them in secret and they find out, then any bond of trust between you and your nanny could be instantly broken.

On the other hand, if you tell them that the nanny cams are not there just to monitor her, but they are there for general home security, then she will feel that you trust her, because you told her. And as a bonus, if she knows she’s being video taped, any temptation to lash out at your child may be held in check, even on her most frustrating of days.

When hiring a nanny, parents should complete a background check, which included the person’s criminal, employee and worker’s compensation history as well as licensing verification. But sometimes a check still does not guarantee the children are free from abuse. Parents should try to spend time with a prospective caregiver and observe them in a discreet way. Families should interview the person themselves, not relying solely on the placing agency.

The most important thing is for a parent to know their child and to pick up on clues that something might be wrong, such as a normally energetic child suddenly becoming lethargic or you find unexplained bruises and scratches. Another key sign that something might be wrong is if your child starts to become overly anxious when it’s time for you to leave them with the caregiver.

Hidden cameras can be used for many other reasons than just childcare. The devices can be used while your home is being cleaned, for security reasons, or just to keep an eye on things when you’re not there. However, spy shops indicate the leading reason continues to be to monitor care providers. I personally have noticed a 20% increase in the purchase of hidden cameras over the last two years. While this is good for my business, I’m not sure what it says about our society.

What You Can Do to Find a Surrogate Mother

Author: admin

Sep 29



Wanting a baby and not being able to have one creates intense sadness. Thus, some couples choose to have a baby with the help of a surrogate mother. There are many reasons preventing a woman from conceiving a baby and several options for choosing a surrogate. For those wondering what you can do to find a surrogate mother, there are several options available including asking a sister, cousin, friend or other family member, which is a good point to start from. It takes a lot of love to have a baby for someone else. By choosing someone close to you she can relinquish the baby to you, but remain a part of the child life. This type of surrogacy is usually an altruistic surrogacy, since it is more than likely done more for love than money.

Also, what you can do to find a surrogate mother is to contact an agency that will match a surrogate to a family. This is a good way for the couple to know the surrogate mother they have chosen passes rigorous medical screening and will be more likely to have a healthy baby. It takes a great sacrifice to carry someone else child for nine months, and it usually isn’t come cheap. A couple may be asked to cover all the surrogate medical expenses, living expenses and other compensation before, during and after the pregnancy. The agencies also take care of the legal aspects and contracts for the surrogacy. Talk to several candidates before making your decision, don’t be afraid to say no if you think she isn’t the best

When asking what you can do to find a surrogate mother you may also want to consider placing advertisements in newspapers, appropriate magazines and online to help you find a surrogate mother for your baby. Interview your candidate over the phone and make sure you have a list of questions to ask her. If you like her set up a face-to-face interview. You may also ask a trusted friend or a family member to accompany you to the meeting.

Other options available when asking what you can do to find a surrogate mother are to ask around, contact a doctor or perhaps even a midwife and see if they know of anyone who would consider being a surrogate mom for you. Many times a woman who has had a surrogate pregnancy for one couple may consider doing it again. You may also consider asking members of a mom group or your church congregation if they know of anyone who will help you bring a baby into your lives.

Perhaps one of the best things that you can do when asking yourself what you can do to find a surrogate mother is to not give up. Believe it or not the Internet is a wealth of information when it comes to the entire surrogacy procedure. So, go online and start searching, just make sure that you do use common sense as well.

Do You Have What it Takes to Be a Great Nanny?

Author: admin

Sep 28



When it comes to being a nanny, many people mistakenly assume that she is a person who just sits with kids all day, gives them baths, and watches TV. Although some or all of these things may be part of her daily routine, a nanny is much more than a babysitter: she is a major influence in the upbringing of the children she is responsible for, and that requires a special temperament and unique skills. Do you have what it takes to be a great nanny?

– Are You Mature?

Being a nanny is not all fun and games: it’s also a serious responsibility. You must be mature enough to understand how important your role is and to be the kind of person whom parents can trust to make excellent judgments and be a good role model.

– Do You Have a Sense of Fun?

The children under your care should be excited and happy to see you every day. If you are naturally drawn to children, you are already well on your way to having the attributes of a fine nanny. You will see to it that their needs are taken care of, but you will also be a great playmate and instiller of joy.

– Are You Fearless and Confident?

You must have the guts to be able to speak frankly and openly with the parents about what is happening with their children. If a child is exhibiting alarming behavior that goes beyond the “normal” expectations for someone his age, you need to be confident enough and fearless enough to speak openly and express your concerns.

– Are You Caring?

It shouldn’t just be a job. You need to have the type of personality that bonds easily and is capable of genuinely caring for the children you are taking care of. Otherwise, the daily pressures may become too great and you will start giving subpar care.

Being a nanny is a wonderful way to make a living: you are, in actuality, a parents’ assistant. If you think this is the right career for you, become trained and enlist the help of a good agency to help you with placement.

Spy Nanny Cams – Get the Peace of Mind You Deserve

Author: admin

Sep 28



There’s no sense to avoid it, so we might as well actually admit it: the world of today is measurably more dangerous and fraught with perils those of yesteryear. Anytime you turn on your television set or monitor, you’re bombarded with a growing number of stories featuring the “nanny from hell” (just look online for any video with that actual title). And although it’s important to be able to leave your children with a trustworthy babysitter, there are times when the babysitter or nanny that you’ve hired turns out to be an irresponsible individual who ignores, neglects – or does even worse things – to your children.

However, you can get the upper hand. How? Simple – today’s modern nanny cam tech specs has moved ahead to give parents the advantage and upper hand. Spy cameras – when employed correctly – allows you a sneak-peek into what takes place in your home while you’re away. The reason that nanny cams are so important is that they capture the true essence of a person. When people know that they’re on camera – they act different. When people think they’re alone, they behave honestly. Spy cameras and nanny cams may seem intrusive, but, in reality, they guarantee that your child is left with a responsible caregiver.

Here’s the basic breakdown of what a nanny cam is and what it does: Nanny cams or spy cameras are video recorders that are designed to hide in plain sight. They could be disguised as a wall clock, tissue box or even a throw pillow. When the camera is activated, it transmits signals from the camera to the receiver. Later on, when you come home, you can watch the video that the nanny cam has recorded – thus giving you a in-depth look into what you missed while you were away.

Purchasing a nanny cam or spy camera has never been easier. That’s because there are online shopping sites that are dedicated to helping you select and purchase the best nanny cam for your needs. Buying online not only saves you time and money – but they also give you clear, complete product descriptions. Making the decision to purchase a spy cam is a big one – so, you want to ensure that you get as much information as you possibly can before you spend your money. Sites that give you detailed product info, as well as clear shipping timetables and low prices are your best bet when looking for a spy camera.

Nanny cams aren’t just technological devices – they’re also the peace of mind and security that you’re looking for. Remember, one of the most important choices you will ever have to make is who you are going to leave your kids with when you go out. Regretting that choice – or worse, not even having the ability to regret it – is one of the most painful and difficult circumstances a parent can go through. Nanny cams eliminate the fear and wonder and can turn any doubt you have about your babysitter into recorded video truth.

Nannies Salary – How Much to Pay a Nanny? Short Guide!

Author: admin

Sep 26



You know it: When thinking of hiring a nanny to help you with your children day-to-day tasks, one of the most important aspects which need to be considered is the nannies salary. What is a reasonable salary for a nanny? How should you determine the salary rate? What other payments should be taken into account? The following short guide will help you answer these important questions.

The nanny salary

Nannies salary may vary from different reasons – number of children’s, experience, full-time or part-time, age, responsibilities and more. A minimum salary for a nanny should be around 350$ gross per week. This could go higher to about 800$ for a more experienced and professional nanny.

Taxing Issue

When thinking of possible nannies salary you could afford, you need to be aware to the fact that gross wage is before tax deduction and net wage is the actual payment. When planning your expenses you should know if you will withhold income taxes or not. Also you should remember that Medicare and Social Security taxes are under the employer responsibility.

What other payments need to be considered?

On top of the basic nannies salary, other payments need to be considered:

(1) Time off payment.
(2) Health insurance.
(3) Cellular phone.
(4) Other children expenses.

Not all nannies will ask for additional payments on top of the basic salary. It’s up to you and your nanny to decide which payments are relevant to the nanny’s day-to-day responsibilities and duties.

Nannies salary and yearly bonus

One of the ways to keep your nanny motivated is offering her a yearly bonus. The amount should be agreed by both sides and should be mentioned in the employment agreement. Incentives are a great way to keep your nanny on the right track. Use it wisely.

Best Practices When Using a Spy Camera

Author: admin

Sep 26



Spy cameras can be exceptionally helpful and beneficial when it comes to protecting your home, family and business. Designed to be both affordable and reliable, today’s modern nanny cams are also a wise purchase because they have become easier and simpler to use. In the early days of micro spy camera technology, you needed a Master’s Degree in order to figure out which wire goes with which connection. Now, I’m being silly with that last statement – however, spy cams were incredibly difficult to properly set up and use. Nowadays, nanny cameras for the house or office are manufactured with the user – that’s you – in mind. Literally within minutes of receiving your wireless nanny camera, you can have it up, running and recording.

But, just because spy cams are increasingly easier to use, that doesn’t mean that their self-setting and self-correcting. What that means is that, there are some best practices that you can follow in regards to wireless micro spy cameras. Now, first and foremost, you should always read the instruction manual that comes with your nanny camera. It will give you the nuts and bolts about how to assemble and connect it to your television set, computer or viewing monitor. However, if you want to really get the most from your spy camera, there are logical rules that you should follow and adhere to.

Now, these rules aren’t etched in stone and they shouldn’t be considered as canon. You have to truly and deeply evaluate the reasons that brought you to purchase your very own spy cam. You also have to have a real understanding about how, why, where, when and who you intend to focus your nanny cam directives on. Of course, these reasons will vary from people to people – and the reasons that you have will be different from someone else. However, even though the nature of owning and using a wireless spy cam are personal in nature, there are common best practices that you can follow to ensure that you effectively and properly get the absolute best from your nanny camera.

Here are some general guidelines that you can follow that can help you enjoy the security and peace of mind that spy cameras are designed to deliver:

i. RESEARCH THE LOCAL LAWS IN YOUR AREA

Do you know if you’re even allowed to have a spy cam where you live? Never assume your rights when it comes to nanny cam technology. Take a few moments and contact your local legal experts who can properly guide you on where, when and how you can use your spy camera. You’ll be surprised as to the reasons you can – and can’t – employ a spy cam. This only takes a few minutes, but it can save you a tremendous amount of time in terms of hassle and headaches.

ii. KNOW WHERE YOU ARE GOING TO USE YOUR SPY CAMERA

If you know which room you plan to use your nanny camera, that’s great. But, your planning shouldn’t stop there. Take a strong look at each corner of the room where you intend to place your spy cam. High locations, low areas, walls, hidden corners, objects which can provide interference, power sources – all of these facets come into play when deciding where to place your spy camera. You should take as much time as necessary to get your room camera-ready. At the same time, hidden cameras are designed to be hidden. If you’re camera features an obvious design which lends itself to easy detection, then you really need to take the time to properly figure out where you’re going to place it within the room.
