VICKY: MIGRANT NANNY

Vicky Diaz, a 34-year-old mother of five, is a migrant nanny. She had been a college-educated schoolteacher and travel agent in the Philippines before she migrated to the United States to work as a housekeeper for a wealthy Beverly Hills family and a nanny for their 2-year-old son. Vicky explained her situation to the ethnographer Rhacel Parreñas:

[My children] were saddened by my departure. Even until now my children are trying to convince me to go home. . . . The children were not angry when I left because they were still very young when I left them. My husband could not get angry either because he knew that was the only way I could seriously help him raise our children, so that our children could be sent to school.11
