Exhibit

My first exhibit is an article by Patricia M. Greenfield titled "What happens when parents and nannies come from different cultures? Comparing the care giving belief systems of nannies and their employers" This extends to previous arguments of domestic labor of a nanny as opposed to a house cleaner. The example used in the article is Hispanic nanny's serving white households in America. Adding to earlier readings this article discusses the effect on the children which was nonexistent in the readings.

My second exhibit comes from the Washington post and is written by Katherine Shaver and is titled "Stay-at-Home Dads Forge New Identities, Roles" This article is about the rise of the stay at home father and the fathers feel about the role reversal from the more traditional stay at home mother , which was discussed in previous reading. This adds to the other readings by taking the fathers view in the situation as opposed to discussing females taking care of the household.

My third exhibit is an article from associated content and is written by Steve Thomson and is titled the "Pros and Cons of hiring a male nanny". This article describes the positives and negatives of a male nanny but then later goes on to say that it is all based on gender stereotypes and is based on the individual. This exhibit extends previous readings by the gender roll reversal that is portrayed by male nannies.
