abstract = "Twenty-nine-year-old Girlie is one of approximately 4,100 Filipino au pairs in Denmark, 20 of whom I interviewed in Denmark in the summer of 2012. As an au pair, Girlie only works 30 hours a week. She mostly performs light cleaning and sometimes she helps in the kitchen and with afternoon childcare. Her current workload is a vast improvement from her prior job in Singapore where she worked as a domestic worker for five and a half years. In Singapore, she worked from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. Her duties included general cleaning, cooking, hand-washing the entire laundry, cleaning the car and doing childcare. By relocating from Singapore to Denmark, Girlie saw a jump in her salary from US\$270 to US\$580.",
