Employment of Filipinas as nannies in the context of post-socialist Czech Republic

Original language description

During the post-socialist development in the Czech Republic, many official and informal socio-cultural institutions have been reorganized: from the political and economical systems to gender and family relationships. The society became engaged in globalprocesses, including migration and global care market. Commodification and commercialization of domestic work have developed. Employment of Filipinas as nannies and housekeepers - although not statistically significant yet - represents a symptomatic example of the transformations and current development and a re-definition of a wide-spread social practice realized in many foreign countries. In this paper, an analysis of commodification of care is being accomplished. Specifically, I look at the ways intermediary agencies operate and how they approach potential customers offering care services of live-in Filipina nannies as a specific product with certain characteristics. I also focus on how the agencies construct the domestic work itself
