Paper Summary:

This paper examines the pros and cons of hiring a domestic caregiver and shows how people contradict themselves when choosing help.

From the Paper:

"Julia Wrigley, author of Other People's Children, and her assistants controlled 177 concentrated, tape-recorded interviews. 76 interviews were with caregivers, 79 were with employers, and 22 with coordinators of agencies who specialize in domestic employment (p.x). The purpose of these interviews, to assess private childcare assortments as viewed by the domestic caregiver as well as the employers. The observations and sentiments formed by the different array of individuals tends to contradict itself, while some people have positive views of domestic caregivers, others resent placing their child or children under the care of incompetent caregivers. Yet, even those who realize the trials and tribulations of domestic caregivers, they may also apprehend the indubitable soundness of live-in caregivers. One such contradiction is that of employers who are more likely to hire subordinate caregivers because they are less expensive; however, they would prefer a better-educated caregiver that articulates English well."
