Nanny

About Nanny

“Thousands of young people are admitted each year to the U.S. as cultural exchange participants through the J-1 visa program, often to work as live-in childcare providers known as au pairs. Now, a lawsuit lodged on behalf of 90,000 current and former au pairs alleges sponsor agencies are exploiting the program as a source for cheap migrant labor.”
— Ivette Feliciano and Zachary Green, “Have au pairs been exploited as a cheap source of labor?”, ‘’PBS’’, (Aug 12, 2018).
“The influence of nannies and other significant caregivers on a child's psychological and emotional development may be profound and if unrecognized may contribute to psychopathology in adulthood. However, the significance of the nanny has been relatively neglected within the psychoanalytic literature.”
— Jessica Yakeley, “Mind the baby: The role of the nanny in infant observation”, (19 March 2017), The International Journal of Psychoanalysis, Volume 98, Issue 6, (December 2017), p.1577.
