People Reveal The Craziest Things They've Caught On A Nanny Cam

As one user shared, "This was my (equivalent of) pre-k. All the kids were regressing in their movement ability and getting really fat so they set up spy equipment. Turns out one carer was doubling every baby’s food portions and forcefully overfeeding them."

It's unclear why exactly this person was doing this, but it's possible that they took a worry about the kids not getting enough to eat to some harmful extremes.

A case one user heard about saw a couple hire a nanny when one parent worked and the other was abroad. Unfortunately, they eventually started to notice their child becoming malnourished and set up a camera to see what was going on.

As this user wrote, "Apparently the lady used to bring her kid and feed him all the food left for the kid she was supposed to babysit. Then she would feed the kid cheap biscuits. She was promptly handed over to police."

When one mom noticed, that her baby would cry more than usual during a diaper change, she set up a nanny cam to see if it concerned anything the carer they hired was doing.

It turned out that during diaper changes, this person would substitute Clorox wipes if they were in reach when the baby wipes weren't.

Apparently, it doesn't go without saying that those aren't intended for a human's skin, especially not the most sensitive parts of a baby's body.

When the user's sister was very young, the camera in her room captured her holding the baby and crying.

Apparently, she had experienced a miscarriage the day before.

One user, for instance, wrote that their mom set up a camera after she suspected her maid of stealing the silverware.

But while her suspicions were confirmed, it was hard to care so much about the stolen silverware when that maid was also revealed to be having an affair with the user's father. Clearly, he hadn't been told about the hidden camera.

As they wrote, "We have a nanny cam and we caught our nanny... dancing with our baby, making him laugh and giving him kisses. She’s the best and the cameras gave us the peace of mind to know she really treats him like her own."

In times like these, it's so relieving to know there are still people in this world we can trust.

One user's parents apparently caught the babysitter cradling their 60-pound golden retriever like it was a baby.

It's one of those things that may be a little embarrassing for the sitter, but endlessly adorable for everyone else.

Yet somehow, this user caught their nanny feeding charcoal to their children.

After she'd been caught, the woman insisted she genuinely thought the charcoal, which she had found in a charcoal box, was an edible snack. Whether that's true or not, this is still a deeply disturbing story.

Although this story took place before nanny cams were widely available, the user's mom found reason to wonder what her nanny was up to after her kids could never sleep at night after spending the day with her.

When she came home early, she discovered that the nanny always dosed the children with children's medicine so they would sleep all day and she didn't have to do anything.

Once again, the user reporting this story said said it took place before nanny cams were a thing, but the parents found reason to be vigilant after their special needs brother needed to be hospitalized after a period of constant seizures.

What they discovered was that this babysitter (their step-sister) was stealing his medication so she could use it later. This wasn't limited to anti-seizure pills, but also tranquilizers he took called benzodiazepines.

It was clear that she was feeding an addiction.

One user paid their neighbor to feed the cats in their yard, and he apparently did this by literally pole vaulting over their fence.

It turns out he had nailed the landing, too.

This user shared that their aunt caught her hired sitter on camera playing blackjack with her eldest son. While certainly not bad by any means, the most interesting part was that they played for real money. And that kid managed to win $50 from the babysitter who should maybe practice a bit more.

This user shared that they set up a camera in their room to record their pet bunny, since they knew their family members weren't follow specific cafe instructions in the user's absence.

However, one family member actually surprised the bunny owner. Rightfully believing their brother hated their pointy-eared pet, the user was shocked to catch that same brother coming into their room to play with the bunny in secret.

As this user explained,

"My mom often tells the story of how she watched me give a big ol hug to my babysitter who just broke down out of nowhere after serving me lunch. Turns out her dad had died a month back and it just wasn't a good day for her."

"Friend caught [the sitter] rummaging through her closet and stealing a blouse," this user shared. "She confronted her about it when she returned home, and the woman played innocent."

But perhaps she should have hid the most incriminating evidence beforehand:

"She was wearing the f***ing blouse."

According to this user, their babysitter was caught stealing on a camcorder that had been hidden in the house. The worst thing she took? One piece of a puzzle the family had been working on.

That's pure evil right there.

Per the user's post, the babysitter was in the middle of watching their daily marathon of Friends episodes on TV when the child they were looking after happened to disrupt this little solo viewing party.

The sitter then actually hit the child, simply because they'd interrupted.

When the user was babysitting for a couple, their camera embedded in a teddy bear showed her giving the Heimlich maneuver to their two-year-old son after he had tried to eat a rock.

When one user checked the nanny cam they set up for their one-year-old sister, they discovered that the babysitter decided to take an afternoon nap while the child happily destroyed the user's Playstation.

The sitter must've been a heavy sleeper.
