It’s obvious that childcare workers do not receive adequate pay nor are they recognized for the hard work that they put in on a day-to-day basis. Through Ehrenreich (1), we see that it’s nearly impossible to live a good life with only one low wage job; it’s a necessity to have at least two. Schipler (2) and Schlosser (3) also show different people’s stories as to how they manage to maintain a somewhat normal daily life. In Hoschild’s article we take a look at a different sort of nanny—the global nannies—and how they manage to keep their lives going as well as take care of their children who live in a completely different country. With Sen (5) we take a glimpse into yet another sort of nanny, the welfare nanny. These women take care of children who have mothers in the same low socioeconomic status as them. These two subgroups of nannies are only a small fraction of the many women as well as men who make up the overwhelming number of people who are in the childcare service. As shown by Williams (6) it’s not just the U.S. that’s dealing with problems in the childcare industry. Australia and especially Canada have had troubles with childcare workers, and as shown by Arreola (7), some women have just had it and are starting to just call it quits.Through this website I would like to show that the hard work of these men and women deserves more recognition as well as a more adequate pay. | |
