Can I advertise for a young person to be a nanny in my house?

Yes, where the job is one of domestic employment in a private household, the Act permits different treatment based on age, disability, political opinion, religious or ethical belief, sex or sexual orientation. It does not permit different treatment based on marital status, colour, race, ethnic or national origins, employment status or family status.
