СAUGHT MY KIDS’ BABYSITTER COMING OUT OF THE SHOWER WHILE MY HUSBAND WAS HOME, SO I TURNED ON THE NANNY CAM THE NEXT DAY. My hubby and I hired a babysitter for our two kids as we’re always slammed with work. Everything’s been fine until yesterday… I walk in at 6 p.m., and there she is with her hair all wet! She says she had to shower because my kid spilled milk on her. But here’s where it gets totally weird — my husband, who’s supposed to be at work then, is right there at home! My gut tells me something is totally wrong. So, the next day, I dug out this old nanny cam we had and secretly set it up in the living room before I headed to work. Not even an hour later, I checked the cam to see MY HUSBAND, who’d left for work, sneaking in the door. But the scene I saw next was not at all what I was afraid to see.
I came home one evening to find my children’s nanny stepping
out of the shower, wet hair and all. What made it even more surprising was that my husband, Mark, was there
too—and he sided with her when I voiced my concerns. That moment left me stunned, and my thoughts
into a mix of confusion and suspicion. I didn’t confront them immediately, but I couldn’t shake the feeling that something wasn’t right. So, I decided to investigate.
We had hired the nanny to help take care of our three children, as Mark and I were both working full-time.
Everything had been fine until yesterday. I came home at 6 p.m., and there she was, her hair dripping wet. She casually explained that my child had spilled milk on her, so she needed to take a quick shower. I didn’t buy it completely, but she assured me the children were fine, as they were napping.
“I still don’t think it’s appropriate for you to shower in my home,” I replied, my voice tinged with frustration. She dismissed my concern with a wave of her hand, arguing that it wasn’t a big deal.
Just as the conversation was escalating, Mark appeared in the living room and, to my surprise, sided with the nanny.
They both brushed off my discomfort, and the nanny left soon after. But there was something about Mark’s presence that didn’t sit right with me. He should’ve been at work—he was supposed to be on a night shift.
The fact that he was home left me uneasy, and my suspicions about them having an affair began to grow.
The next day, before leaving for work, I decided to take a step I hadn’t planned on: I dug out the old nanny cam I’d used when the kids were babies. I set it up in the living room, determined to see what happened while I was gone.
The morning unfolded like any other, and as I left for work, Mark and the nanny exchanged pleasantries as they passed each other at the door. Little did I know, my world was about to turn upside down. Just an hour later, I checked the camera and saw Mark walking back into the house. My heart sank as I watched him approach the nanny. Tears blurred my vision as I couldn’t believe what I was seeing.
I rushed home, unable to focus on anything else. When I arrived, I found Mark at the stove, cooking. The confusion in my mind was overwhelming. How could the man I had just seen on camera look so calm, so ordinary? I barely had time to gather my thoughts before he noticed my presence.
“Why are you home so early?” he asked, sounding concerned.
I lied and said I had been let off early due to a power outage at work. He accepted it, but then his tone shifted. “Honey, I need to tell you something,” he said, his voice heavy with guilt.
What followed was a confession I never expected. Mark admitted that he had been fired from his job a week ago due to downsizing but hadn’t wanted to burden me with the news. Instead of telling me, he’d pretended to
go to work every day, returning home to search for new jobs while also taking care of the kids. “Yesterday, our daughter spilled milk on the nanny, and I told her to shower while I took care of the kids who were napping,” he explained.
