Recording laws, simplified
Is it legal to monitor
my caregiver?
The short answer: almost certainly yes. Select your state below and we'll tell you exactly what the law says and what, if anything, you need to do.
Video recording
Legal in all 50 states. You have the right to install cameras in the common areas of your own home (living room, kitchen, nursery). Never in bathrooms or anywhere a person has a reasonable expectation of privacy.

You are protecting your child, not spying
Monitoring your own home to keep your child safe is a right, not an invasion of privacy. Courts consistently uphold homeowners' rights to install cameras in common areas.
Telling your caregiver is good practice everywhere
Even where it is not legally required, a simple "we have cameras in the home for our child's safety" sets honest expectations and is usually enough to satisfy all-party consent requirements.
No Worries does not record without your knowledge
