Seeking a New Model Untangling the Mother-Nanny Knot Appendix: Nielsen Book Data Publisher's Summary "Shadow Mothers" shines new light on an aspect of contemporary motherhood often hidden from view: Cameron Lynne Macdonald illuminates both sides of an unequal and complicated relationship. Based on in-depth interviews with professional women and childcare providers - immigrant and American-born nannies as well as European au pairs - "Shadow Mothers" locates the roots of individual skirmishes between mothers and their childcare providers in broader cultural and social tensions.

Macdonald argues that these conflicts arise from unrealistic ideals about mothering and inflexible career paths and work schedules, as well as from the devaluation of paid care work.

I wonder if some more observations would have helped with the delicate issue of conflicting accounts among mother-employers and caregivers, such as one mother-employer claiming that their nanny cooked and ate with the family, while the nanny stated that she always ate alone, and was never invited to eat with the family.
This book would be a welcome addition to courses on carework, mothering, the sociology of labor and sociology of gender.
I would also recommend this book to anyone who is negotiating a relationship with a paid caregiver. This entry was posted on March 28, at 2: You can subscribe via RSS 2.
