Typically, most MDWs leave their children in a 'gardorie' or unregulated, home-based day-care centre such as the one run by Tete Mona. These gardories are often run by another migrant woman, and many even provide'day and night'childcare. For instance, I visited a gardorie run by Mama Sara, a Madagascan woman, in Naba, Beirut, where around half the migrant children would be dropped off by their mothers on a Sunday evening and collected at the end of the work week on Friday evening.
