Caregiver motivation, identity, and resilience: A study of family, friend, neighbor (FFN), and nanny care in California - part two

Description:

This study offers a deeper analysis of caregiver motivations, self-perception, and goals, building on the framework of Alarcon and Sangalang (2015), who segment caregivers based on their motivation: FFN caregivers may be on a lifetime “journey” with their loved ones, or they may be on an “occupational track” and cycle through families. Grandmothers embody the former end of the continuum and nannies, the latter, while other relatives and friends fall in between (Alarcon & Sangalang, 2015). After exploring the variation in the caregiver experience in California, we offer recommendations for California and FFN-focused policies more broadly. (author abstract)
