[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most employers are smart enough to state what they want done, and the people who naturally are most enthusiastic about it are the ones who have the same values.

Ex: We want a nanny who will say grace before meals, read specific religious books to our children, agree not to read books about xyz topic that violates our religion and take our children to Sunday school, confirmation class and/or other religious classes or services.  Naturally, the nanny most enthusiastic about doing these is one who likely identifies as Christian, and most likely shares their denomination.[/quote]

And you know what? That's illegal in DC. [/quote]

Are you sure? I think the example in the OP is definitely against DC law, but the example PP gives? Trying to whittle down the applicant pool by describing the tasks?

Is that different than if I advertised "Two mom family seeking local nanny" in the hopes that it would discourage homophobes? [/quote]

It's likely not illegal to describe the tasks. It's illegal to say "I want a Christian nanny." [/quote]
