Good afternoon. I am taking care of a child and have been working in this family for 3 month already. Yesterday I came there and noticed that they've put a camera in the child's room. They didn't tell me anything, that they were unhappy with me or they wanted to see what I do with the child... What can it mean? and what should I do?

Is pedagogical training a must for a babysitter? The job is about taking care of a 2 year old child. Thanks to everybody Kind regards,
