Vietnamese immigrants are the third largest group of immigrants in the Czech Republic. At the same time, in comparison with other immigrant groups and even the majority population there is higher share of children under 15 years of age. As they are mostly economic migrants and usually working as entrepreneurs, stall-keepers and owners of shops and restaurants, the pace of their work life in a new country is intense. Private family life is minimized and Vietnamese parents have to hire Czech nannies to look after their children. Spending more time with their Czech nannies than with parents, these children are slowly integrating into Czech society – through Czech fairy tales that their paid Czech nannies read them, the Czech songs they sing them, or the Czech food they cook for them. Drawing upon qualitative research conducted with Vietnamese mothers, Czech nannies, and children of Vietnamese immigrants, the paper looks into how children (born both in Vietnam and in the Czech Republic) of Vietnamese parents who grow up Czech with their Czech nannies perceive the role of the Czech nanny in their lives and what meanings they put to the delegated caregiving. It focuses on how children describe the role of their nannies as a “door to the majority” teaching them the “authenticity” of the Czech culture, mediating them their social networks, and enabling them to understand and partly experience what it means to be the part of the majority society.

This paper links two research fields: elderly care in families and intergenerational solidarity. Its aim is to apply Bengtson’s general theory of intergenerational solidarity to a specific sample of families currently caring for an elderly family member. Is it possible to apply Bengton’s general theory to a generation of families caring for elderly parents? We compared our findings with the results of studies in the US and the Netherlands and found similar types of families. We also developed and tested a unidimensional scale for measuring family cohesion as a specification of Bengtson’s classic model. Success in comparison offers a chance for generalization of our findings also in other countries under specific circumstances.
