The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted the world population in different dimensions and has increased inequalities in different countries. In addition to the effects on the economy and health, transformations in daily life are observed, such as the massification of telework. This has implied the convergence of the domestic and working spaces, significantly affecting working mothers, who have increased their care workload, and impacting their daily routines and mental health. The main objective is to analyze the strategies developed by Chilean mothers, who telework from confinement measures, to deal with the conflict between care tasks and paid work. Through the analysis of eighteen semi-structured interviews, five types of strategies adopted by women in this context of double presence and unequal distribution of tasks were recognized: organizational in the absence of time control, multiplicity and simultaneity of tasks, school support and proximity, work against overload, resistance.
