Unusual Things Parents And Nannies Have Spotted On Their Nanny Cams
Depending on how you use them, nanny cams can be both safe and voyeuristic. It’s essential for your child’s well-being, but some nannies find it awkward. Their performance suffers as a result of the pressure they feel from being observed. However, you can’t blame parents for being extra vigilant when it comes to their children, given the number of strange things that have been caught on nanny cams. Parents and nannies have captured some of the weirdest things they’ve ever seen on their nanny cams.
Replaced With Nail Polish Remover
There are a few things on this list that will make you run for your own security camera faster than this one. This is exactly what these workers were supposed to do, but the OP’s brother called them and they were so irritated that they did something completely unacceptable. The poster’s brother was throwing a party for his now-legal SIL a few weeks after they repaired the shower. When the drinks started flowing, however, something seemed amiss. One glance at the nanny cam revealed the truth.
Family Discord
A family fight is one thing, but when your sister is caught on a nanny cam trying to cut you out of the will, that’s another story entirely. To keep an eye on his ailing parents, this individual was using a baby monitor.
Family Discord
It must have been a rude awakening for him to discover that his sister was attempting to cut him out of the will. Unquestionably, this is one of the most heinous betrayals that we have ever read about.
Lactose Intolerant
Using nanny cameras to solve mysteries is a great idea. When this mother noticed that her baby drank twice as much breast milk when the babysitter was looking after him, she suspected something was amiss. A look at her babysitter’s video feed revealed that she had been drinking her milk, which she hadn’t expected.
Lactose Intolerant
Breast milk is known to have numerous health benefits, and he was aware of this prior to meeting the baby. Even so, why didn’t this jerk realize how many red lines he was stepping on? On top of all that, he denied the baby access to breast milk that was intended for him.
Fuzzy Cuddles
We have to admit that while some of these nanny-cam stories are a little unsettling, the camera itself is a godsend for parents who want to keep an eye on their children (s). Humans aren’t the only ones who get into mischief, as people have also caught their pets doing the same thing on camera, which we’ve already covered.
Fuzzy Cuddles
He discovered that his cat and dog enjoy climbing into the baby’s crib while he sleeps. Let us guess: they just want to cuddle with the baby. That’s not the case at all. They push the baby to one side in order to make more room for themselves, but this is a myth.
Highly Unsanitary
After reading this, you’ll want to run out and buy a camera so you can monitor everyone who enters and leaves your home. This is truly bizarre. No wonder there’s a growing distrust of babysitters after incidents like this.
Highly Unsanitary
In order to clean the knife she used to cut an apple, this babysitter simply licked the blade. Sure enough, she put it back in the drawer without cleaning it. Anybody else feeling queasy? We’re the only ones?
Super Nanny!
Your child or pet may be doing strange things when they’re alone, so you install a nanny camera. The nanny in this story, on the other hand, was caught by the OP as she channeled her superhero side. In other words, she wasn’t just doing it to amuse the baby she was watching; that couldn’t be farther from the truth.
Super Nanny!
Babysitter used the baby’s blanket as a cape, flying around the room on her back. After some time, the parents discovered that the babysitter was frequently under the influence of alcohol while performing her duties as a babysitter. So, that explains everything.
Peek-a-Boo
Nanny cameras can be extremely useful, but they can also cause false alarms. The strange noises made by this nanny cam made this babysitter nervous. When she looked at it, she noticed two arms reaching into the crib, grabbing the baby she had just put down for a nap.
Peek A Boo
It was only natural for the babysitter to be prepared in the event that she needed to defend the children and themselves from an intruder But it turned out to be just granny! She managed to slip in unnoticed for a brief period of time. Phew!
Chatty Kathy
When it comes to unexplained events, this one is undoubtedly the best of the bunch. It’s not a secret that kids love to talk, not only to others but also to themselves. But the five-year-old girl she was babysitting seemed to have an imaginary friend.
Chatty Kathy
Asked the little girl, she admitted she was conversing with her baby sister. Unbelievably, when she was only a few months old, her parents experienced a miscarriage. As a group, we can’t decide if we’re more intrigued, or if we’re just freaked out.
Smelly Fetish
Because of how creepy this incident is, I think we should all get nanny cams for our homes. In the event that you don’t believe us, brace yourself. I guarantee you’ll vomit at the end of this post.
Smelly Fetish
Apparently, the babysitter was caught sniffing the children’s underwear after changing them, according to this user. What’s going on here? The only thing we can say is that we are completely speechless.
Papa Bear
Parents are understandably on high alert when it comes to their infants. This father became terrified when he realized he couldn’t recognize himself in the video and thought someone was grabbing his baby.
Papa Bear
Even though he had been holding his baby the entire time, he only realized after a few moments that it was just him! In that split second, Daddio grayed and aged by ten years, as we can only imagine how stressful that was for him.
Welcome to the Dark Side
This next incident sounds like something out of a horror movie. Seeing something strange on the nanny cam while babysitting her nephew must have caused this aunt a lot of anxiety.
Welcome To The Dark Side
Despite the fact that the black mass turned out to be a garbage bag and the baby was fine, we can completely understand why the poster cried. We’d have had the exact same reaction.
Hidden Talent
Despite what you might think, nanny cams don’t have to record everything that goes bump in the night. Some of them may even make you smile. According to this babysitter’s findings, one of the young people she watched videos with was studying dance moves from online tutorials.
Hidden Talent
It was five years later, but this kid had already been accepted into the pom squad at his high school. Quite the accomplishment! The most heartwarming part of this story is how dance therapy helped this youngster who was experiencing behavioral delays.
Child Abuse
Wow. This story, more than any of the others we’ve seen thus far, takes the cake for most shocking. The sole purpose of having a nanny employed is to watch over and care for the child(ren).
Child Abuse
As her child’s malnutrition worsened, this mother decided to install a spy camera. There were times when the nanny would bring her own child over and feed him everything left for her child’s meal, which shocked her. When his mother finally figured out what was going on, the poor kid was forced to eat nothing but cheap biscuits. Awful.
Quacky Gas
This nanny-cam story had us laughing out loud. During the night, this OP’s child told her about a haunted duck that would quack at him. After hearing a very loud quack on the nanny cam, his mother began to wonder about it. There was nothing in her son’s room that would make such a racket, so she went back and checked.
Quacky Gas
That is, until the following night. As his farts sounded like a duck quacking, she realized that her husband was to blame for the noise. Daddy dearest now goes to the bathroom at work before leaving to avoid waking his child when he gets home.
No Swearing
If you’re wondering where your child is picking up all those foul words despite the fact that you don’t use them yourself, you might want to take a look at your nanny cam.
No Swearing
Nanny dragged child out of room by t-shirt after saying crude things about child’s mother when told “Mommy said I don’t have to do that.” Nanny said crude things about the child’s mother. Just like this mother, we’re in disbelief at what we’ve seen and heard.
The Unhealthiest of Diets
When it comes to the strangest things caught on a nanny camera, this one is hard to beat. Even though many babysitters have complained of feeling uncomfortable in the presence of a nanny camera, moments and incidents like this one make nanny cameras highly necessary. Instilling confidence in the parents, they allow them to get on with their day.
The Unhealthiest Of Diets
A female babysitter was found to be consuming Viagra pills in this particular incident. We’re not sure why she took the performance-enhancing drug, but one thing is for certain: she was fired immediately afterward.
Naughty or Nice?
The nanny who was babysitting the 4-year-old boys was not as clueless as she made herself out to be and had a good idea of what she was feeding them. Her naughty and nice list might have convinced her that she was, in fact, the real-life Santa Claus.
Naughty Or Nice?
While we’re confident that the children were behaving impeccably, the nanny was clearly not. She should have been the one to eat the charcoal, not the other way around. There are some people who are just plain awful.
Pole Vaulting
Nanny cams have uncovered yet another hidden talent in this next story, which is actually quite funny. The OP explains how he pays his neighbor to feed the stray cats that live in his yard from time to time.
Pole Vaulting
When the poster was away for long periods of time, he used his nanny cam to keep an eye on things at home. With the help of a bamboo stick he managed to catch his neighbor performing an impressive pole vault over the fence—and it went perfectly!
Clorox Wipes
A nanny-cam incident that shocked and disgusted us was this one. When it comes to your child, you can never be too careful or cautious — and that sentiment also applies to finding the right babysitter.
Clorox Wipes
It was only after this mama bear noticed that her baby seemed to be crying more than usual during diaper changes that she decided to keep an eye on the baby’s diaper change. The mother quickly discovered that the babysitter would use Clorox wipes to clean the baby if they were in the same room as the child. This is abhorrent, heinous, and blatantly abusive to children.
Solved the Puzzle
Despite the fact that this isn’t one of the worst nanny-cam mishaps ever, it’s still pretty shocking. As a parent, it can be difficult to trust the person caring for your child when you learn that they are a kleptomaniac.
Solved The Puzzle
That’s the only explanation as to why this particular babysitter took a single piece of the puzzle that the OP and her child were trying to solve in the first place. She then stole one of the OP’s potted plants, which only served to exacerbate the situation.
Let That Sink In
Honestly, what’s the matter with people? A special needs child was placed in the care of this individual. When this babysitter had a problem with the kid’s mother, she acted out in the most passive-aggressive ways rather than expressing her thoughts.
Let That Sink In
Additionally, she peed in front of the child multiple times while she was stealing clothes and food. In one instance, the so-called caretaker apparently managed to snip the stream and pull up her pants just as mama bear entered the kitchen, according to the OP.
Not Suitable for Children
As far as nanny-cam stories go, this is one of the weirdest and most cringe-worthy. While attending a wedding out of town, the OP’s parents left their two younger children in the care of their grandfather. They also hired their regular babysitter to take care of the kids overnight in the event that grandpa couldn’t handle it alone.
Not Suitable For Children
The sitter said she felt a “connection” with the grandfather. His response was, “At my age, you must seize every opportunity,” and that was that. He’d never be asked to babysit again, I think.
Hacking Scare
As a rule of thumb, hackers are much more likely to be heard yelling out of your baby’s monitor. Creepy is an art that hackers have nailed down to an art form. Baby monitor hacking is more common than you might think.
Hacking Scare
This particular event took place in 2014, and we have no doubt that it gave the parents quite a fright. We are curious as to whether or not they continued to use the baby monitor after what happened…
A Vital Discovery
As previously stated, nanny cams can lead to amazing discoveries. Consider the following example. Fathers who have cameras set up on their porches have learned that their children are capable of escaping their cribs, and it’s all thanks to the cameras.
A Vital Discovery
He only found out about his son’s secret after receiving a picture on his phone. He snapped a photo of his infant son reaching out the front door to grab a package that had just arrived. This is a big accomplishment for him, since not only did he learn to escape his crib, but he has now also learned how to answer the door!
Little Rascals
You know your kids are naughty when they wave goodbye to the nanny cam before unplugging it. Convince parents that their children aren’t misbehaving with the nanny cam’s help. However, it appears that these children are unfazed by it.
Little Rascals
These kids know how to pull off a robbery in a classy manner. They don’t want their session of mischief to be caught on a nanny cam because doing so would only get them in trouble with their parents.
Babysitters Gone Wild
If you don’t want your babysitters stealing your booze and other illegal substances, make sure to lock them up properly. Not all babysitters are like this, but it’s more common than we think, even if we’re not assuming it.
Babysitters Gone Wild
When she was a teenager, this babysitter admitted to stealing alcohol from her employers. At seven o’clock in the evening, the kid would fill her water bottle with a drink for her next party. At some point the OP found herself in hot water with the kid’s parents; they were actually pretty lenient about it all, and only cautioned her against selling alcohol to an underage person.
Killing 2 Birds With 1 Stone
A nanny cam seems like a good idea after incidents like this, whether you want to detect theft, neglect, or, in this case, someone taking advantage of a good situation. These parents grew suspicious when they noticed an increase in their water bill, as well as the fact that their laundry soap kept disappearing.
Killing 2 Birds With 1 Stone
They set up the camera to verify their suspicions. They did indeed catch the babysitter doing her own and her roommate’s laundry while she was watching the children. If she wanted to accomplish two things at once, she should have asked her parents if they’d allow her to do some laundry.
Forced Breastfeeding
What happens when the person entrusted with the care of the children turns out to be the one doing the harm? Forcing the baby to breastfeed was caught on camera by the housekeeper in 2015. She had only been working for the company for a few hours.
Forced Breastfeeding
The housekeeper, despite the baby’s reluctance, kept trying. She had to watch it all on her smartphone while at work, which made the poor mother an unwilling participant in the drama.
Cat Fight
When it comes to scary nannies, it’s not just babies who are the target of their antics. When it comes to dealing with children, nannies and babysitters are sought out for their patience. Even when things aren’t going well, they’re expected to maintain their composure. The nanny, on the other hand, resorts to violence here.
Cat Fight
Cat owner shocked to see babysitter chasing after her cats with a broom, as she had expected. She even smacked them in the face with her fists. She was, of course, terminated.
Friends First
This lady went over the line between fandom and fanaticism. When the child interrupted the nanny’s Friends binge, the nanny was caught on camera slapping him. This incident is enough to convince you to install a security camera in your house.
Friends First
She was able to catch her nanny in the act thanks to this person’s camera. We can only assume that the cast of Friends would be appalled by this terrible situation.
Interception
Let’s face it: this incident has the potential to frighten anyone. On one occasion, while watching over his cousin’s children, the baby monitor picked up the voice of a man. After checking on both children, he freaked out and couldn’t figure out where the voice was coming from.
Interception
That monitor occasionally switches to its neighbor’s display, they discovered in the end. The neighbor’s baby, who is about the same age as the OP’s child, was the source of the commotion the OP heard earlier.
Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader?
Even though nanny cams have tarnished the picture of babysitters, there are plenty of nannies out there with a can-do attitude who are a joy to watch. Seeing how close a babysitter and the child they’re caring for become is heartwarming.
Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader?
Consider this post, for example. It was discovered that her nephew had been taught how to play BlackJack by his babysitter while his aunt was out of town. The cherry on top? The babysitter was beaten by the kid, who won $50.
Opposite of a Caretaker
To read something like this is excruciatingly painful, and the worst part is that it is all too common. Their grandmother was suffering from dementia. The family hired a nurse to stay with her while they took care of her. To keep an eye on her, they installed cameras around the house.
Opposite Of A Caretaker
The information they gleaned from the recording was appalling. Despite the fact that she was aware of the cameras, the nurse they hired beat grandma for a full minute. This is a heinous crime.
Caught in the Nude
Even though it’s not the most bizarre occurrence, we can’t deny that it’s amusing. It’s not like families don’t hire a dog sitter when they go on vacation. Her boyfriend, on the other hand, was completely unaware of the cameras.
Caught In The Nude
And from what we’ve heard, he had a great time while he was naked. Unbeknownst to him, the family for whom they were dog-sitting received notifications every time he activated the motion detector, resulting in numerous instances of them seeing his bare bum.
Video-Game Obsession
A new kleptomaniac story has surfaced. With nanny cameras, it’s possible to catch someone stealing in the act. By stuffing the games into her pants and shirt, the babysitter was able to steal the games from this child’s parents.
Video Game Obsession
She insisted that she hadn’t stolen anything when confronted about it, until one game fell out of her pants. From the bra strap to the waistband, there was a game tucked away somewhere in her disguise.
Caught in the Act
This is something that no child should ever have to go through. While we understand the human need, there is no excuse for the actions of this babysitter/cousin. Couldn’t she have waited until she returned home?
Caught In The Act
The fact that it happened more than a few times is not the worst part; rather, the fact that her cousin caught her doing it is the worst part. It’s so awkward, so strange, and such a private matter…
An Unusual Protector
It’s common knowledge that dogs are born with a protective instinct, but that doesn’t mean cats can’t also help keep you safe or protect you from potential threats. This story is evidence that exactly that is the case!
An Unusual Protector
A child and his nanny were playing catch with a ball. After a brief pause, the ball struck something, causing the child to cry uncontrollably. When the cat in the second floor apartment heard the commotion, he dashed down to protect the child by lunging furiously at the nanny. Even after she tried to show him that she would never hurt the child, the woman was unable to avoid the kitty-cat.
A Hairy Affair
On nanny cams, many people have reported seeing ghosts and experiencing otherworldly phenomena. However, it’s possible that these sightings were nothing more than a simple misunderstanding. For example, consider this situation.
A Hairy Affair
The camera captured the movement of something under the blanket of one person’s son. After a few more seconds, he realized it was just a stray hair or thread caught in the lens of the baby monitor. You could argue that it was a waste of time, but at first glance, it seemed a little unnerving.
Is That My Shirt?
A number of stories have surfaced about babysitters stealing clothing from their clients. A babysitter who stole a blouse from the same family she was babysitting must have felt a little weird about wearing it while babysitting.
Is That My Shirt?
One blouse, in particular, caught the lady’s eye as her babysitter searched her closet. Despite the fact that she was wearing the blouse in question, the babysitter vehemently denied any involvement. This demonstrates that not all babysitters are criminals; some are also illiterate.
Double Whammy
An affair between a husband and the family’s maid is one of the worst things that can be caught on nanny cams, and this one, in particular, is no exception. Suspicions of stolen silverware first sparked the investigation.
Double Whammy
Mother discovered that the maid was stealing silverware, which was overshadowed when she discovered that her husband was having an affair with the maid. Finding out about an affair with a partner the hard way is never a good idea.
Dirty Grandpa
Nanny cams have been a lifesaver when it comes to catching parents’ children in the act of misbehaving. Every time his grandfather asked for money, he’d forget what he did with it afterward.
Dirty Grandpa
Reports of inappropriate behavior by home health aides have occurred from time to time. The nanny cam saved the day when it caught grandpa smuggling in his medication and otherwise acting inappropriately around him.
Attempted Break-In
Nanny cams caught an attempted break-in, but it wasn’t just any attempted break-in that was strange. Instead of capturing video of the break-in, the nanny cam was able to deter the intruders this time. It’s a good idea to have one installed because of this.
Attempted Break In
This person saw his neighbor preparing to break into the coop with a power drill in his hand. When confronted, she claimed that she had been concerned about the eggs when she made the comment.
Dance Like No One’s Watching
Let loose and have some fun without anyone judging you. Despite what we’ve read here, the world is full of wonderful nannies who genuinely enjoy what they do. Some nannies go the extra mile to ensure that children are comfortable and having a great time.
Dance Like No One’s Watching
Children were amused by this Macarena-singing nanny, who was filmed dancing on camera. In this case, it’s clear that some people enjoy their work and care deeply about their employer’s children.
Lights on for the Cats!
It would appear that nanny cams are an effective tool for identifying inconsiderate neighbors. During the time that the owners were away on vacation, these neighbors were tasked with caring for the cats.
Lights On For The Cats!
When the owners went to check on the status of their home’s security, they were shocked to discover that every light was on. It was later discovered that the neighbors had turned on all the lights to allow the cats to see…
Green Monster
At this point in the list, we’re not surprised at all by this particular incident. They had their sights set on something in OP’s apartment that their ex-superintendent kept getting their hands on. How? To gain entry to the OP’s residence.
Green Monster
The irony of the situation lies in the fact that the OP did not purchase the nanny cam with the intention of spying on her dog; rather, she bought it so that she could watch her dog while she was at work.
