Financial Questions During Agency Interview

I live in MA and was recently asked by a California nanny agency, whether or not I had a trust fund. Is this illegal? It made me incredibly uncomfortable! Background: After college I did a lot of traveling, volunteer work and "fun" jobs to explore the world and gain experiences. They wanted to know how I funded all that. I guess saving and being frugal didn't occur to them?
