This contribution deals with the presence in Attica of Spartan nannies, who were highly praised for their qualities and for the method that they practiced. They were either bought or hired. In Life of Lycurgus 16,5, Plutarch states that they were bought, but this seems to contradict what is known of the historical circumstances. We may consider emending the text, depending whether the mistake is a result of corruption in the manuscript tradition or derives from the author himself.

During the last couple of decades, paid childcare has become one of the central issues of feminist research. Agencies mediating childcare are a relatively new actor in childcare arrangements in the Czech Republic. This article argues that these agencies do not fill a gap in the market by offering childcare. Far from providing simple supply that reacts to a market demand, the agencies create the demand for specific care. Drawing upon qualitative research conducted with owners of these agencies, the text looks into the ways in which childcare is constructed. The issues of qualified, specialized, and professionalized care are discussed. The article aims to show that childcare in the agencies is deconstructed as a natural female activity and is reconstructed as a gendered activity requiring particular skills that are subjected to professional screening.
