Sažetak
Caregiving in the private household is becoming one of the largest sectors of employment for migrant women in Europe (Lutz, 2018). This fast- paced marketisation of care was not followed with equally responsive introduction of regulations in working conditions or occupational standards. Because of this, migrant women working as carers oftentimes experience precarious work conditions, while at the same time vague meanings are attached to both the position of paid carers and paid care work itself. To better understand what paid care work means and entails for migrant women, this paper focuses on their perspectives and experiences of employment in caregiving abroad. The data was obtained as part of a wider project exploring international circular labour migration experiences of women from Slavonija, Croatia, who are employed in different sectors of work in Italy, Germany, and Austria. This presentation is based on the analysis of eleven narrative interviews conducted with women from 50-76 years of age who are employed as carers in the private households. The findings demonstrate the ways in which the definitions of the migrants’ caregiver positions are ambiguous, and with shifting boundaries, especially due to (unpaid) care work being attributed as women’s work. This is firstly evidenced by a range of expressions which they use to describe their position more precisely, which not only disclose different boundaries of everyday work tasks they perform but also point to different approaches to their relationship with their client, principally with regards to intimacy and emotional labour involved in their caregiving. This is further complicated by an unstable, and at times volatile, relationship between carers, clients, and employers. Whether the migrant carers ground their approach to caregiving in their gendered everyday knowledge or in care as an occupation, they are involved in continual negotiation of professional boundaries with their clients and employers.
