Nanny cams are a great invention, they give you peace of mind as a parent that your child is safe asleep in their room while you’re attempting to clean up the day’s carnage. They also put your mind at rest when you leave your precious offspring in the care of someone else. You know that you can check-in via your phone whenever you want. Occasionally, you end up finding out more than you bargained for. Whether it be a particularly spooky conversation your baby has with an invisible companion, or your sitter trying on all your clothes whilst dancing to Britney. Prepare yourself for some hilarious (and some terrifying) nanny cam discoveries.

Often our children wait until we’re not looking before showcasing their new skills. You’ll have the camera trained on them, ready to film those first confident steps for Grandma, only for them to wait until you’ve given up and put it away before they run across the room.

This mom managed to catch her son out showing off his new trick, but only because of her nanny cam. I’m pretty sure that she was 2 seconds away from running straight into the room as she watched him balance on the crib edge like a mini acrobat.
