In the course of time, Jamaican domestics are being viewed as selfish, difficult and aggressive. The majority of placement agencies say they stopped dealing with Jamaican domestics because after they did work for some months and made some money they stopped taking work seriously.
Foster Care is one of the major issues still faced in this world today. According to Crosson-Tower (2010), in the early 1800s, boarding homes were instituted with the idea of rescuing “good” children from ‘bad” parents. The study notes the idea of paying for foster homes to house children was renounced in view of agencies advocating foster care argued that it will lead foster homes to take children for money rather than out of altruism.

The first two room the stranger visits, the kitchen and the dining room, are rooms typically regarded as a rooms made for guests and are typically designed to be big enough to fit lots of people in.
