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. 606 $aAu pairs 606 $aAu pairs 606 $aChild care 606 $aChild care services 606 $aChild care services 606 $aChild care 606 $aMotherhood 606 $aMotherhood 606 $aNannies 606 $aNannies 606 $aChild care 606 $aAu pairs 606 $aNannies 606 $aChild care services 606 $aMotherhood 606 $aSocial Welfare & Social Work$2HILCC 606 $aSocial Sciences$2HILCC 606 $aChild & Youth Development$2HILCC 608 $aElectronic books. 615 4$aAu pairs. 615 4$aAu pairs. 615 4$aChild care. 615 4$aChild care services. 615 4$aChild care services. 615 4$aChild care. 615 4$aMotherhood. 615 4$aMotherhood. 615 4$aNannies. 615 4$aNannies. 615 0$aChild care 615 0$aAu pairs 615 0$aNannies 615 0$aChild care services 615 0$aMotherhood 615 7$aSocial Welfare & Social Work 615 7$aSocial Sciences 615 7$aChild & Youth Development 676 $a306.874/3 700 $aMacdonald$b Cameron Lynne, $4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01041157 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910459191703321 996 $aShadow Mothers$92464494 997 $aUNINA
