Nanny Families cover

Paying privately for childcare is a growing phenomenon worldwide, a trend mirrored in Sweden despite the prevalence there of publicly funded daycare. This book combines theories of family practices, care and childhood studies with the personal perspectives of nannies, au pairs, parents and children to provide new understandings of what constitutes care in nanny families.

“By including the accounts of parents, nannies and au pairs and children, this lively study throws light on themes of family and employment that will become increasingly important.” David Morgan, University of Manchester
