Abstract

This paper reports on an ongoing project aimed at describing the ways in which language is a tool for socializing care. The study examines the local practices and ideologies of care that underlie the interactions of Spanish-speaking, Latina nannies and the mostly white, English speaking children under their care at a park in the west side of Los Angeles. The paper further investigates the nannies' views on their profession as caregivers and their views on the childrens development of Spanish. Finally, the affective and moral dimensions involved in nanny care are also explored.
