		<description>I hope to get to some kind of blog conference once in my lifetime. It looks like an awesome time. And wow, I didn not know you needed to eat more when growing two babies, seems like common sense, but I lack that. Hopefully with the constant meals, you will start to feel good! Thanks for always keeping your loyal readers posted.</description>

		<title>Comment on Things to never ask your nanny. by KK</title>

		<description>I'm curious where you get that asking about pregnancy is illegal for a PRIVATE family to ask an nanny.  EEOC laws ONLY cover certain employers.  I always ask about pregnancy and plans because I am planning for the long term and I don't want to rehire someone every 9 months.  Anyway, just not to give off misinformation, here is the EEOC website address:  http://www.eeoc.gov/employers/coverage.cfm

It is VERY different to hire someone who is coming into your home- while some of your questions are crazy(and I agree with your assessment), I do think there are some things that are OK for families to ask of full time caregivers!
 
I also ask whether they have medical concerns that I should know about (what if they were to have a siezure with my infant that they normally suffered from),  and I ask about their criminal history- i think these are all relevant.  And one girl, who I liked, did not tell me the details of her 'conviction' and how the fact she couldn't start because she had to go to jail for 10 days.  To be honest, if she had just told me the whys and when (because she couldn't afford to pay for a drunk in public, she chose to go to jail), I would have been more understanding than hiring her, understanding we were all young and stupid and that she couldn't start right away because she had to serve time!!</description>
