Do you know where the nanny is?
by Byron Appelt
GPS December 30th, 2007It’s always good to hear from a satisfied customer and even better when they have found a way to use your product in a way you hadn’t envisioned. We recently spoke to one of our customers who felt compelled to thank us for removing stress from his life and adding piece of mind. Steve from Sarasota has installed a Ublip tracker in the minivan used by their nanny to transport their children and has set-up geofences around the various destinations where the nanny is supposed to be with the kids. Now he and his wife get emails sent to their phones whenever the nanny arrives at and leaves these destinations. In the past, his wife might be stuck in a meeting wondering if the nanny picked up the kids. Often the stress would build to the point that she would have to leave a meeting and make a call to check. But now, she gets an email on her phone that lets her know all is well. Peace of mind, delivered to her inbox.

It doesn’t sound to me like they are “keeping their nanny on a leash”. It seems that they would like the peace of mind to know that their kids are safe and have arrived/departed safely.
We don’t have a full-time nanny, but one that comes once/week and I would consider using this GPS tracking service for my nanny were we to bring her on full-time. I would do it to give both my wife and I peace of mind more than anything else. I don’t think it should be used as a tool for spying on my nanny.

[…] can’t help but relate this to a comment from the “Nanny” post. This customer is buying peace of mind. The comment from “Janis” criticizes the […]
