Again, I disagree. We DO live in such a world. Thousands of parents place their blind trust in family child care providers. A majority of which do not have cameras.

Asking again, how does having cameras guarantee higher safety. Can you give me some examples of how a parent being able to view (without sound) a snippet of their child's day would ensure a higher level of safety?

Even if a parent watched the camera ALL day long...I am not understanding HOW that guarantees them that added safety.

I have an open door policy. Meaning parents can (and are encouraged) to pop in ANY time they want. If I am doing ANYTHING unsafe, they can "catch" me then.

Also for me personally, the safety of the children is MORE important to me than it is to most parents. After all, I AM the one that makes sure I sleep infants according to safe sleep recommendations, I have a valid CPR/First Aid certificate, take a variety of trainings and classes that help educate me on healthy eating, developmental growth and many other things that ensure that child in my care are safe.

Most parents I know can't even say no to their child...even in UNSAFE situations so again, cameras are in NO WAY a guarantee of safety for anyone.

I understand that you believe in what you sell and that you trust that your customers, consumers and clients believe you when you educate them about your services.

It's the same way for child care.
