[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, various PPs, it is troubling that household employees have so little protection compared to other workers in other industries, but ranting about it here changes very little and it helps even LESS when you rant about something you are so ill-informed about.

PP, do you really not see the difference in a Mormon family wanting to hire a Mormon nanny versus a company like, say, Papa John's refusing to hire a Muslim? When your job involves teaching children religious practices, which some but not all nanny positions do, of course it makes sense that you want to hire someone who knows and shares your beliefs. When your job involves delivering pizzas, your personal faith is completely irrelevant.

I do think that asking personal medical questions is out of line, and that a letter from a doctor stating the nanny is in good health and able to perform her duties without worry should suffice, but that's not the way the law stands. If you want to change it, you should first begin by educating yourself. [Hint: DCUM is not the best place to do that][/quote]

Every nanny can produce her doctor's note
stating her fitness to perform as a nanny,
and decline to entertain any further questions 
with regard to her ability to perform 
her job related duties.
