Find out how recent technology has made checking up on a babysitter as simple as turning on a computer or placing a cell phone call.

2. Choose a spy cam you can afford and install on your own. Make sure to read reviews and ask questions about the device before buying it.
3. Check for the image quality by asking the sales person to demonstrate the nanny cam.
