As I have been doing the job through an agency, I have informed the agency that I feel uncomfortable in being watched 24/7, and have refused to go back.
The Parent's are aware that I know about the camera, along with the agency also now knowing. They also know that I have refused to go back, and that any further childcare that is provided, the child carers will be told that the family record nannies.
At this point, the agency are seeking advice, and wont be sending any more nannies to the home until they know for sure. if it is found that it is illegal to use the camera, the agency will refuse to provide them with further child care.
I would have thought the agency would know this already to be honest. But I think it is unsure, as the camera is used in their home.
I still think regardless of this, whoever is going to be recorded should be informed or asked.
I understand that Parents can have concerns - but isn't that what references are for?!
