In Italy parents continue to be confident
but it makes its way the need for greater control
A model NannyCam

Watch out, baby sitter: the bear is watching. More and more mothers and American fathers who decide to install at home a "NannyCam", ie a micro-camera to control the nanny. You can hide it in a book, in the fire sensor or in soft "teddy bear" that the child always brings with it. It takes $ 80 to buy the do-it-yourself kit for a wifi spy cam and so make sure the babysitter do its duty.
