Abstract
through a qualitative survey conducted with a domestic carer in Paris and Madrid, this article seeks to understand sociologically their relationship to work. As a result of physical and emotional contact, care has a home with vulnerable people, because they are sick or harsh, implying an overwhelming exposure to the subjectivite and body of the salaria. Furthermore, they re-establish their metier at the junction of the sub-junior categories of genus, class and race/ethnicite, which places them in asymetric power ratios. The article shows how the moral responsibility caused by care explains in part the significant subjective investment of salaria in their work, and the suffering they experience with the nature of the metier and working conditions.
