[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is not "discrimination," OP, at least in legal terms.

I can state that I want a nanny who is 5'5" tall, has red hair and likes to sing. Is it "discrimination" if you want the job and don't fit the criteria.

Sorry this "rubs you the wrong way." You really need to get out more.[/quote]

Religion is a protected class.  You cannot advertise that want a nanny who is white, correct? [/quote]

Exactly who is going to stop me, OP? I can advertise for anything I want.[/quote]

No, you cannot.

Local Laws
In addition to federal and state laws, household employers must also comply with local laws, which often supersede federal and state laws. For example, in Washington, D.C., the DC Human Rights Act applies to all employers, even those with just one employee. It prohibits discrimination based on the actual or perceived race, color, religion, national origin, sex, age, marital status, personal appearance, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, family responsibilities, genetic information, disability, matriculation, or political affiliation.[/quote]

And any platform you use that has broad reach will not accept your add. Craigslist will take it down, as will any newspaper advertisement sections (where these still exist). [/quote]

Great;that's their perogative. Just like it's my perogative to actively seek a person who fits my criteria in the person that I hire.[/quote]

it's actually not if you live in DC. [/quote]
