Balancing Power Dynamics in Smart Homes: Nannies' Perspectives on How Cameras...
summary
Twenty-five semi-structured interviews with nannies reveal which specifics matter: whether cameras are used for supervision versus incidental monitoring, whether employers disclose placement, and whether feeds include audio or how long footage is retained. Findings show hidden cameras and constant checking drive some nannies to quit, while footage can also exonerate caregivers. Suggested interventions are concrete: discussion guides at hiring, product nudges and access controls to prompt employer transparency and give domestic workers clearer, context-specific ways to set and learn camera policies.
