Objetive:

To identify the social actors who considered themselves as caregivers in order to encourage them to understand their biographical characteristics and the place they have in the care work they carried out with children.

Method:

A constructivist epistemology and a qualitative methodology were chosen in order to articulate the interest of the research team in the production of knowledge with the intervention needs expressed by the work team.

Results:

Difficulties were found in the self-care of women mothers associated with double working hours and the logic of duty in which the care of the other is legitimized over self-care.

Conclusions:

This situation implies a lack of self-care and possibly a deficit in the care of their own children which shows the need for early childhood policy in Colombia to generate self-care strategies for those working with early childhood children.
