[quote=Anonymous]I am bisexual, in a relationship with a woman.  Employers wouldn't want to hire me, as I might contaminate or abuse their children, just because I'm attracted to the same gender.  I might make their kids gay.

Employers don't want women, because they aren't active.  They don't want men because they will abuse the kids.

Employers want someone of their own religion, language or ethnicity, to have common ground.  They want a different religion, language or ethnicity to teach the kids about diversity.

Employers want someone under 30 who will be a friend to their kids and know what is relevant.  Or they want an older woman to be more like a Grandma.  Or they want someone who has recently been through the baby stages.  Sometimes they advertise for 40+ hoping they get someone who is too old to have any more kids, but young enough to not feel like a Grandma.

Employers want someone with kids, because she knows what it's like to be a mom.  Or they want someone without kids, because that way she won't call off when her kid is sick.

Sometimes they want a college student, sometimes they want someone with a degree, and sometimes they don't want the nanny to have anything beyond a HS degree or GED.

Sometimes they want someone single, who is more likely to be flexible (in their mind).  Sometimes they want someone who is married, might share the same values, might be more stable.

Sometimes they're willing to pay top dollar.  Sometimes they want the cheapest rate possible.

They want what they want.  If they look long enough and ask the right questions, they might find the combination they want.  And no, it's not illegal unless they have more employees.  It's rare for a family to have 2 nannies, let alone more, so most don't worry about discrimination.[/quote]
