AI Nannies, Digital Caregivers and the Future of Parenting

Today we dive into one of the most talked about shifts in modern parenting. AI nannies, robot caregivers, digital monitoring tools and the rise of tech inside our homes. Parents are already using AI for bedtime stories, tracking sleep, automating tasks and in some parts of the world, trusting robots to act as full caregivers. We break down the benefits, risks and what this means for child safety, emotional development and the mental load of motherhood.

Jhshell shares her perspective as a former pediatric occupational therapist, including why AI companions for autistic kids raise major concerns. Tempestt explains why being anti AI is a losing battle and why families need real AI literacy to help children navigate technology safely. We also unpack the cost of childcare, the invisible labor moms carry and whether AI could actually support parents without replacing them.

If you want an honest look at the future of AI parenting and what families need to protect their kids, this episode is for you.
