Family status is not protected. This is what is covered:
https://www.eeoc.gov/prohibited-employment-policiespractices
From your own link, marital status, whether or not you have children, and the number of children you have are absolutely covered.
https://www.eeoc.gov/pre-employment-inquiries-and-marital-status-or-number-children
Refusing to hire someone because they live with a spouse, and/or their children is absolutely discrimination.
Look up the definition of employer highlighted in the same site:
“ If a complaint against a business (or some other private employer) involves race, color, religion, sex (including pregnancy), national origin, disability or genetic information, the business is covered by the laws we enforce if it has 15 or more employees who worked for the employer for at least twenty calendar weeks (in this year or last).”
Thus it does not apply to most household employers here.
DC OHR would have jurisdiction.

Do they still have the group homes for unmarried women?

We like to fool ourselves when we run out of choices.

Our former nanny was getting paid $30/hour for two kids and she was renting a basement apartment in a single woman's basement, in a large SFH. Our nanny is single and she doesn't drive. We were in a nanny share and we also paid for transportation and some health care.

Why wouldn’t you promote your living alone situation to get a higher pay in these times? I would bring it up asap to potential families.

Meh. Might be illegal but people still do it anyway, just like having a racial preference for a nanny. I'm a nanny myself but in this extremely rare Pandemic time, I understand asking. Asannnn
You’ve learned well from Trump.
“Meh, it’s the law. Who cares?”

Yup. LA. Sister is a nanny (both parents physicians) to 3 kids at $38/nr. DL for 2 older kids (preK4 and K) and newborn care. Sister is a former teacher. 4 weeks vacation. She has been with them since oldest was born with good raises as each kid came along. Lives with long-term boyfriend. Many retired teachers going this route as they are only 45-60 years old and get bored 6 months into post-teaching.

I’m a nanny from LA and I don’t rent but own a home here.
And I bought it myself (no spouse or anything)

What area do you live in? How many kids? I live in LA and I’ve only seen the wealthiest of families pay that much. It’s rare to find that rate for most families.
I work in Beverly Hills. If you look at west side nannies, educated, the help company etc right now most jobs are $25-35 because of distance learning. Great time to get a new job!
Also try The Help Agency in Brentwood and Educated Nannies.
Another LA nanny here earning $31 an hour for one child plus full healthcare. I also live alone in Beverly Hills and walk to work.

Second, we pay our nanny $25 an hour (one baby) and she lives alone in a small guesthouse. The owners wanted a quiet single woman more than a high rent, I suppose.
But you’re right, OP. A nanny living alone is not common around here.
I hired a nanny with no nannying experience and no college education. We started out paying $15 an hour.
Good for you? I think this thread is about nannies living alone. Does your $15 an hour nanny live alone?
Yes, property manager for traveling owners. Apparently pre-COVID they came back four times a year for a week each time, and the nanny would just go stay with friends for that week.
