After working for them for a few months the dad sent me a nasty text asking why one of his children had bruises on her face & neck I was dumbfounded & asked if he was sure it wasnt just blue marker? Needless to say, her "bruises" washed right off & while he apologized, for me the damage had been done.

IMO if I feel like a parent doesnt trust me to take care of their child, then they are not right for my program. So if I were to ever have cameras, it would be to cover my hide-never for a parent to view.
