You may as well go all the way and get video as well.  Nanny cam or possibly 
even baby monitors.

Make sure you get the caregivers consent regarding monitoring and provide 
awareness.

Have a talk with the caregiver too.  Start it off by saying you appreciate all 
her help.  Find out how it's going or if there are any problems caring for your 
grandmother.  Is there anything you can do to help?  Maybe even offer 
suggestions on how you'd like her to be cared for (include "she's fragile and 
bruises easily so be careful if she needs to be moved" or "she doesn't like 
loud noises and can hear" or whatever).  Essentially establish an acceptable 
"care" policy.
