Holiday Security, Babysitters, and Nanny Cams

While Christmas is the time for family, and watching the kids tear open their new favorite toys, New Years Eve is for the parents to let loose and get out of the house for a night of fun without the kids. Both holidays have another thing in common. Security.

Why security? Many of us aren't even home for Christmas. We hit the roads and head to the parents for a few days, or we at least spend a couple days out at a relative's house for a party, or two. In my case I'm out so much that you would think I abandoned my home. Hving a security system in place during the holidays is pretty important to me. While Christmas is a joyous occasion for most of us, it is also one of the worst times of the year for many others. It's also a a perfect time for them to find homes empty and ripe for the picking. Especially since the gifts are all new and worth as much as they are gonna find.

Even if you are home things aren't always secure. During the holidays, and especially New Years Eve it probably isn't easy to find someone that wants to stay home is it? By that I mean a babysitter. It's not like you have a nanny on call during the holidays or anything. You may have to take what you can get, and hopefully a trusted recommendation from someone you trust is available for the night. Of course you can also have a little look at what that babysitter is up to while you are gone with on of the best nanny cams you can find.

These are probably more important for a regular sitter anyways as you will see them more often. If you go out a lot and leave your children with a sitter a nanny cam is probably a wise investment regardless. With today's security systems, and security technology available there isn't much reason to trust your instincts on a babysitter is there? Just spend a few bucks on a personal nanny cam and make sure your family is safe.
