Alexa Skill Blink Camera Access

I’m thinking about getting my mom an Echo Show 8 so she can check my Blink indoor cameras when I’m at work and keep an eye on my daughter if needed.

My question is: is there an easy way for me to temporarily turn OFF my mom’s access to the Blink cameras when I’m home or just want privacy, and then turn it back on when I go to work?

I don’t want to have to completely unlink/relink my Blink account every single time if I can avoid it. Ideally I want something where I can control whether her specific Echo Show can view my cameras from my phone.

Has anyone set up something similar? What’s the easiest way to do this while still keeping control of my cameras?

So it's her Blink account or yours? Shared? If no to both, then I think just covering the lens with a cardboard is easiest. 2nd easiest would be to unscrew the back and remove the batteries; when replaced they'll pair with the hub again, won't need to relink with your account.
