>> caught on nanny cam, shaking a 1-year-old girl. >> reporter: time and time again, we see and hear real-life horror stories of nannies behaving badly. now families are shelling out big bucks for private investigatorss like t ruskin and eddie hamilton, from cnp group investigations. >> we're getting more calls now than ever before. you have to feel comfortable with this person who is basically joining your family as an outsider. >> reporter: that comfort is exactly what this first-time mom is looking for. >> it's difficult to find somebody you can trust. >> reporter: our own genevieve brown joins her on her search. >> why did you decide to hire someone to follow your potential sitter? >> i'm a first-time mom. the number one reason i'm not back to work yet is because i'm nervous of who i'm going to leave him with. >> reporter: we're not showing you the faces for privacy concerns. p.i. eddie goes undercover. he follows and videotapes every move. >> what are some of the worst things you have seen in your practice? >> we see a lot of nanny distraction. where nanny is not paying attention to the children. we have seen nannies leave children in strollers outside a store. >> reporter: p.i.s are joining a rise in so called mommy sps. moms keeping tabs on caregivers with questionable behaviviors, posting information online like upper east side mamas. >> the mom who takes a pictu and posts it, what motivates her to do it? >> she sees a child, sees something that's wrong, looks at her own child and sasays, if ts was my nanny, i would want to know about this. >> reporter: so in the e, what did p.i. eddie find? >> once you left, she began her walk. wind blew. she checked the comforter. compared to what we have seseen the past, how does she rate? >> a 10. >> this is someone i would want to hire? >> someone you wouould want hire. >> all right. so abc news lifestyle editor nevieve shaw brown is here with us. what shocked you most? >> after the background check, the references, the nanny cams, parents are still living in fear. that something is goingo happen to onone of the kids. even though the vast majority of the care taikers are good people. >> it does happen. what's the most important thing that parents can take away? >> the experts tell me, trust your gut. 99% chance, something is wrong. don't ditch those nanny cams just yet. people forget they're there. after awhile, the true behavior shines through. >> trust you gut. every mom knows that feeling. thank you so much, genevieve. really important informaon. robin? >> all right, there. thank you, lara. now to the young model who says she is here, alive today because she trusted her gut. her doctors misdiagnosed her. she says she knew something was s wrg. she kept going back. eventually was diagnosed with ovarian cancerer. here's mara schiavocampo. >> repter: she's a model. a runway diva. and now, a cancer survivor. >> you know, it's hard to describe what it feels like to have cancer. you just don't feel right. you don't feel like urself. >> reporter: for two years, plus-sized model ellie mayday suffered extreme pain in her lower back and abdomen. after multiple trips to the emergency room, doctors sent her away with no diagnosis and painkillerer telling her there was nothing to worry about. the 27-year-old's determination to find ansrs ultimately saved her life. >> i kind of complained about my stomach hurting a lot more. as well as with the back. i was able to go into a c.t. scan. got the results from that. they couldn't see my left ovary. >> reporter: that c.t. scan revealing an ovarian cyst. a biopsy later determining she was suffering from a rare form of stage 3 ovarian cancer. >> when n you're sipped down to absolutely nothing to no hair, to scars. it didn't matter if i had a career modeling after this. it just mattered if i survived. >> reporter: she started treatment immediately. undergoing a his hysterectomy and three months of chemotherapy. losing 60 pounds through the process. modeling throughout treatments, even when losing her hair. >> at some points, i didn't feel like myself. >> reporter: this morning, her cancer in remission. using her plaorm to inspire women to recognize their inner beauty and recognize you can beat cancer. >> it's important to trust your gut. when you have confidence, you can take on the world. and you can take on cancer. >> what a beautiful smile. glad she's doing so well. joining us now, abc news senior medical contributor dr. jennifer ashton. i love how intently you watch these pieces. 27 years old. that is unusual in that age >> very unusual. ovarian cancer is classically and commonly unfortunately often dismissed as being attributed to something else. often gastrointestinal issues. in this case, allegedly her weight. it's very uncommon in young women. ovarian cysts are not concerning in and of themselves inin a womaner age. but when we see features tt we think are suspicious and we cannot biopsy the ovary. that means a trip to the operating room. women need to remember the symptoms, which are key. and bloating. and women with endometriosis are more susceptible. >> be persistent. know yr body. this young woman, she went back. she trusted her gut. when should we know to go back and just, you know, demand tt second opinion? >> firirst, robi i think the responsibility has to be on the doctor. i have a rule, if a patient comes back to me twice, three times, with the same complaints. i start to question whether i've missed something. for a patient, getting a second set of eyes on it is not always necessary. but should be considered if f you need to make a diagnosis. if symptoms persist. if recommended treatment is invasive or aggressive. or if you want one. if it's possible, ask for your records and bring them all with you. >> how do you have that conversation? so many people are intimidated by the doctor. what suggestions do you have in opening the line of communication? >> don't be intimidated. people fear the worst. that's human nature. most of the time, it's not the case. any doctor who has not seen a patient's intuition at work, in my opinion, has not been practicing m medicine ng enough. so it matters. and it reminds us. medicine is an art and a science. >> you're not offended if someone wants a second opinion? >> no. not at all. the good doctors will never be offended. >> there you go. as you are one. >> thanks. let's get to amy. >> now on to our series modern romance. a new study sasays men m like the idea of women being smarter than them, in reality, well, they're less likely to want to date them. >> you said you were a stewardess. >> i was testing a theory. >> reporter: rember when miranda dumbed down to get a date? >> as lawyer, partner, i got zero. as a stewardess, , i got on for tomorrow night. >> reporter: those fears are not fiction. women with brains are at the top of the turff list. >> some menre intimidated by women who they feel outperform them. that it somehow diminishes their masculinity. >> reporter: researchers looked at 10505 undergruate men. they liked the idea of a woman who displayed more intelligence than themselves, when it came to dating, they got cold feet. if beyonce taught us anything -- >> girls who run the world >> we were just having levity here. i said, my husband hates it when i beat him at scrabble. how do you feel about the study overall? >> my first feeling was to check the calendar. i wanted to make sure we were nostill in 1952. i thought we were past that idea that, as a woman you have to let the guy be the star in all situations. my second feeling is, if this is how undergraduate men feel, good luck to them. women are earning more college degrees than men. if you're a woman in your 20s, there's a good chance yoyou'll be making the same amount or more money than the guy you're in a relationshipip with. men have to get used to it. >> they are going to have to get used to it. i guess i'm at the table to prove i'm not intimidated. this online survey, we asked the male viewers, would you date a woman smarter than you are? 87% said yes. 13% said no. we asked a followup to everybody, men and women together, are men intimidated by smart women? 79% said yes and 21% said no. >> someone is not telling the truth there. i mean, i think what this shows, men, particularly in this study young men, know that they should the down with the idea. but, listen, these are gender norms that have been around fo millen. the ididea of wh men and women should be. sometimes it takes awhile to change things. >> what is your adce when women see this study? date older men? >> maybe. this study was done on undergraduates. if you can't find a 22-year-old guy who is comfortable with y your intelligence, go find a 32-year-old guy that is. my advice to women is no advice to women. keep being awesome. >> what about men who may have no idea they have a bias? >> i'm theoretically comfortable. i have to know that that will happen in reality. listen, there's a great line by sheryl sandberg that for a woman, the most important career dedecision y make is who you marry. there are great examples of men who are supporting their wives and have tremendously happy marriages as a result. >> thank you, cindy. let's go outside to ginger. >> i found the sweetest faces in the crowd this morning. this is hawk and abbey from north carolina. hawk, can you clap again. clap, clap, clap. yay. he's very goodt it. i swear. let's go ahead and check the forecast. the stationary front staying around for 2 24 hours. all the way to panama city on flash flood alert. a look at the pacific northwest. the remnants of olaf move into the west. all right. that's the big picture. >> and i've got to get a double high five. give me a double high five. because you're 10. happy bibirthday, ddy. all right. let's get inside to lara and get some "pop." we begin "pop news" with jimmy kimmel. he just wrapped a week of shows from his hometown of brooklyn. he sat dn with the new york mets and star pitcher jacob degrom. to discuss hard-hitting topics like halloween costumes. >> what you can see here, if you want to dress like jacob degrom -- >> that's the first time i have seen it. he told me about it today. >> i do want to point out, though, that before theyamed it after you, it was called the, um, see, up here in the corner, the brunette seductress. >> jimmy rounded up former elementary sool clasates to re-create his third grade class photo. notice the picture. he wasn't le to reach his teacher, mrs. metz. so mr. met stepped in. he played a game called hipster or hasidic. a great chat with jay z. if there's any doubt at whether kimmel has lost his brooklyn roots, forgot about it. >> it was great having him here. when we heard cheese is as addictive as drugs, we had to look into it. and this is "nacho" regular "pop news investigation." >> nice. >> after sampling several wedges, i feel "gouda" about this study. this study concludes cheese has addictive properties. but, thankfully with milder side effects. your favorite cheeses contain kasine that plays with dopamine. the hardest cheese habit to kick is pizza. you may want to kp that in mind the next time you order in. don't worry, my fellow cheese addicts, it gets feta. >> a whole wheel of cheese. >> i always want you to know i'm thinking about you, george. the feta was for you. and finally, this one is for robin. it's a dog story. we'll explain that later in the week. if you thought your monday morning struggles were tou, check out this fella. we found thiss on youtube. it made us smile. all he wants is toto try the pasta. he's finding it impossible. >> what's happening?
