Places to Hide a Nanny Cam

So after a long search you have finally found that nanny . Now you are wondering exactly how well she will attend to your child.  Will she plunk your kid down in front of the television drinking, watching television and smoking cigarettes? Or will she spend the day playing and caring responsibly with your child as they promised?

You did not hire your nanny or so that you could be in the same room so the answer is some type of surveillance system. These are called nanny cams.  They take footage of the live in couple or nanny and relay the images back to you on your computer or you can watch the footage on a VCR later.

You have probably seen this type of thing on Oprah. Oprah devoted several episodes of her show to nanny cams and using them to catch bad nannies doing things like swatting children and shaking them.

There are many great places in your home where you can hide a nanny cam.   A good place is through a two way mirror. You will probably get lots of footage of your nanny putting on her lipstick and brushing her hair.

Lamp stands are also a good tucking place for a camera.  Umbrella stands, sculptures, ceramic busts and teddy bears are all great places to hide a wireless camera.  You can roll tape and record or just always have the camera running in live mode and check up on what's happening at your leisure on your computer at work.

A vase of flowers can hide a camera.  The same goes for any type of container that has hany oles in it through which lenses can see the world.

One way to keep your nanny or live in couple on their toes is to simply put tiny little bullet cameras in every room and the nanny they may or may not have those cameras on any time. This means that they must be on their best behaviour at all times. These types of cams also are cheap, wireless and can usually relay back views of any room that you want within seconds.  You simply view what is happening on your laptop or from any computer in the world.

You can be nice and also inform your employees that you have hidden cameras and just dnotto tell them where in the house you have them.

The best places to hide a nanny cam are in the kid's rooms and the living room. There may actually be privacy laws against having a cam in your bathroom and some trouble would definitely be caused if you hid a cam in the nanny or live in couple's quarters. That would be an invasion of privacy.

Staying a Young and Fit Mom

People who have bad nutrition often look much older than they really are. This is because over time they literally become constructed out of things that are not that good for them

I don't know about you but I don't like it when my kids point out things like the wrinkles around my eyes. My son started calling me Big Butt the other day. I did not appreciate it. However he was right.

So how can you avoid having your kids seeing you as too old or making those cute little cracks about your age or weight?

Health experts recommend a diet that emphasizes whole grains and fresh fruits and vegetables as well as other tips:

· Drink eight to ten cups of fluid every day, and make at least five of those cups of fluid water. Water is needed by each and every one of your cells, including those in your skin to renew themselves. If you live in an area where the water is possibly polluted drink bottled water or distilled water.

· Limit your daily intake caffeinated and alcoholic beverages, which can wreak havoc with the nervous system and cause insulin spikes in blood sugar. This can also help create a big fat belly.

· Stay away from carbonated beverages, which are thought to be hard on the pancreas and increase insulin production. Studies have shown that people have lost as much as fifteen pounds in one month simply by cutting out colas from their diet!

· Reduce the amount of saturated fat in your diet and replace it with healthy monounsaturated fats such as that in olive, canola, sunflower, safflower and soybean oils.

· When snacking, choose fruits, vegetables or whole-grain products and avoid sugary or refined products.

· Choose foods that have good calories and that give you the most nutritional intake for the effort it takes to ingest them. For instance a slice of whole grain bread is more nutrient dense than a slice of white bread even though both are approximately 90 calories.

· Eat several small meals a day to keep your blood sugars level. Many doctors recommend doing this to prevent bloating and weight gaian.

· Choose brightly colored fruits and vegetables as they contain antioxidants that assist in the fight against aging. They have more vitamins and minerals.

  • Avoid processed foods, artificial coloring, deep fried foods and monosodium glutamates (MSG) which are thought to accelerate the aging process, especially with regards to the skin include sugar, chocolate, preserved meat, chips, French fries and other kinds of junk food.

This is not just advice for you. It isa lifestyle and way of eating that is also good for your kids if you want them to grow up lean, healthy and happy.

Of course my main motive is to have my kids get to know me for as many years as possible.
