Paid Caregiving in the Gendered Life Course: A Study of Czech Nannies in Vietnamese Immigrant Families
Original language description
Vietnamese immigrant families in the Czech Republic often recruit Czech women to look after their children. Seen in the context of the dominant scholarship, this is a quite unique case in the fi eld of care work where the employers are immigrants, whilethe employees are women of the host country. Drawing upon fi fteen in-depth interviews with Czech nannies, this article analyses the motivations to become a nanny in a Vietnamese family. It employs the perspective of the life course in order to understand what changes in women?s biographies lie behind these decisions. The author focuses on the transitions in nannies? life cycles at the crossroads of three aspects of their biographies: the family caregiving role, position in the labour market and the welfare state, and the meaning of paid caregiving.
