[quote=Anonymous]MB here. I hired a lot in my dayjob and you cannot discriminate in hiring based on that kind of statement. However, I'm also a woman and I would NEVER say something like that in a job interview. Regardless of what the law says, it's just stupid to think announcing your intention to get pregnant will have zero impact on how you're viewed as a potential long-term employee. OP - broaden your search and see if you can find other candidates. Now is a terrific time to be looking for a nanny as so many families will let nannies go when kids start school. Among the things I look at first in nanny candidates is reliability, stability, likelihood of being employed with us for at least a couple of years, etc... Knowing pregnancy was potentially imminent (or even knowing that a struggle with infertility was possible) would raise concerns about some of my most fundamental requirements. [/quote]
