            The Czech Republic is in the process of transforming its social system which is not capabl
            adequate care of its old citizens. In the last years we have witnessed an increase in the 
            mediating agencies that import mainly Ukranian migrants for the purpose of engaging them i

            focusing on elderly people. The paper presents results of pilot ethnograpic research and f
            commodification of care work for elderly people and the vulnerable character of domestic c
            by Ukrainian female migrants in the Czech Republic. I argue that this specific “product” –

            female caregiver – is based on the intersections of gender, ethnicity and migration.
