| Sumario: | Based on an ethnographic study this paper analyzes and describes the concepts and experiences of maternity in both women-mothers migrants who are domestic workers in the Metropolitan Buenos Aires area and the professionals working women who employ them. We analyze the characteristics, tensions, conflicts or correspondences that arise from the perspectives of the mothers between the normative models of motherhood, affection and experience of care, attention and containment, considering the differential logic that social and economic conditions printed on them. We argue the existence of a stratified reproduction in which class, gender and nationality appear as distinguishing features of the various maternity experiences, and however, they share a common resolution of private care activities. For some it is the commodification and familiarization, for the others the transnational networks of care.
