This research involves 18 semi-structured interviews that aimed to identify the social representations (SR) about the child domestic work (CDW) in women adults and girls domestic workers, differentiating the nuclear contents from those peripheral ones and pointing out the common and different elements in both groups. This allows to know the sociocultural system that surrounds their experiences and accepts the practice of CDW as a social phenomenon. According to the findings, the SR of the CDW draw it as a primarily feminine occupation where tasks such as care and cooking stand out. The interviewed adults highlight the material and formative compensation received and the risks as central elements in the evaluation of this practice, while among the minors interviewed, the lack of self-recognition as domestic workers produces a bias in the approach they have to this job. In addition, family dysfunction, and its repercussions on the economic situation, is considered the main cause of this activity. And among the consequences, the participants designate learning and material compensation, as well as the risks in minors, once again. Finally, it is remarkable the pejorative social character that the CDW maintains as a practice; however, it does not determine the involvement of the interviewees because they find reasons that legitimize their participation.
