Studies on migrant workers are thriving along with the development of globalization. Feminization of migration that took place in conjunction with New International Division of Labor (NIDL) further stimulated its interests into “global householding” or “globalization of the reproductive spheres”. Especially domestic helpers drew attention as they are working within private (thus intimate, and mostly non-visible) spheres. Asian migrant women working in the Gulf States became the stake at point as they are increasingly exposed human rights violence such as abuse, confinement at home and extremely low wages. Within the scholarly works, migrant domestic helpers were portrayed within the dichotomy of either “victims” or “agents”. And, recent studies of this genre emphasize agency that the domestic helpers exercise through empirical data, but have basically overlooked the relationship between their employers. This study focuses on female employers of the foreign female domestic helpers, such as Saudi and Emirati women who directly manage domestic helpers in their daily lives. By doing so, this paper explores agencies and strategies of not only the domestic helpers, but those of their female employers. The study will illuminate female employers’ cautiousness or even fear of having “the other” within their intimate sphere, as well as emotional attachment for those who sustain long-term employment.
