Over the last fifteen years, private health care processes, which give assistance to the relatives of elderly family members, have seen significant development through the availability of migrant women. In this paper we explore the working practices of "care workers" as an aspect of some characteristics of post-fordist work: solicitation in the form of self valorisation and at the same time, the growing precariousness and informality of the work, the strategic centrality adopted from female skills, (listening, care, mediation, relationship, etc.) and, finally, the contradictory development of neo-servile forms of labour.

Keywords: Housework, Care Work, Precariousness, Self Valorisation, Informality of Labour Relations, Servile Work
