Nannies who are not parents don't get it. Watching your kid is like playing house to them.

She goes to preschool and my mom drops her off but i pick her up and she stays with me till 6pm every day. I don't take advantage of them but holidays, PTOs, spring/winter breaks she is with me. I have been with them for 3.5 years!

Coverage of Business/Private Employers
General Coverage
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).

All of this AND the employer doesn't have to say 'we're not hiring you because you have kids.' They can just say 'we went with someone else', or, like most parents, never say anything at all and leave you hanging.

I personally tell the nanny I am not hiring them because of their children because they really have no business being a nanny and I hope in some way I am helping convince them to seek a new line of work.

You are an asshole.

Takin care of a family at home and then coming to work and performing similar duties is too much and then when the nannys kid end up sick they want to bring them to work or have to call in themselves. Nannying is a profession for children free people or people with children that aren't minors.

I'm a nanny myself and once I'm done with school and later start a family there is no way in hell I'm working in this profession and putting others children's needs before my own.
