More Description
Paying privately for childcare is a growing phenomenon, and its risein Sweden is particularly interesting because of the vast prevalencethere of publicly funded day care. This book combines familypractice and childhood studies theory with the personal perspectivesof nannies and au pairs, parents, and the children themselves, toprovide new understandings of what constitutes 'good care'.
The authors investigate the ways in which all participants look upon and experience the caring situation in the family and show the possibilities and problems of nanny/au pair care. The studyilluminates ways in which paid domestic care workers 'do' familyand care and contributes to wider political and scientific discussionsof inequalities in and between families, in the context of changingwelfare states.
