The book cover features a colorful and expressive painting depicting scenes of caregiving and labor by Filipina migrant workers. At the center, a woman holds a child close to her chest, while other figures engage in work, such as ironing and childcare. Surrounding the central figures are vibrant, textural elements, including bold words like "Day Care Center," "Reasonable Contractor," and "Mistress of Laundry." The artwork conveys themes of resilience, community, and struggle. The book title, "Caring for Caregivers: Filipina Migrant Workers and Community Building During Crisis," is prominently displayed in bold white text, with the author's name, Valerie Francisco-Menchavez, at the bottom.
