An Employer Sui Generis: How Placement Agencies are Changing the Nature of Paid Childcare in the Czech Republic

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

This chapter deals with a newly emerging actor in the paid childcare market in Czech Republic: care placement agencies that employ nannies in order to offer caregiving services to their customers (children?s parents). Drawing upon qualitative interviewswith owners of agencies and the analysis of their web profiles, this chapter focuses on a double process of commodification of childcare which takes place along with the ?selling? of the particular type of nanny to customers. I argue that in so doing, the agencies offer a working relationship which is different from the more widespread direct relationship between employer and employee, in addition to offering a different kind of care. The agencies are the employers of the nannies and from them the customers buy the care giving service. It is thus not only a matter of intermediation: over the course of the whole service provision the nanny is an employee of the agency, paid by the agency with money received by the customers.
