Objective: to understand how Haitian immigrant women take care of their children in the Brazilian context. Method: qualitative research, participatory action type, based on Paulo Freire's assumptions. Three Culture Circles were held virtually with the participation of 11 Haitian immigrant mothers. The three stages of the Research Itinerary were covered: Thematic Investigation; Encoding and Decoding; Critical Unveiling. Results: women unveiled facilities in taking care of their children in Brazil, such as access to a doctor, vaccine, daycare, security, employment, learning Portuguese with their children and support from the church. They also pointed out challenges: missing and lack of family support, stress, fear, discrimination, difficulty in studying and working, few friends, Portuguese language. Conclusion: Haitian immigrant mothers face difficulties and facilities in caring for their children in Brazil, and it is urgent to expand public health and education policies, so that they can overcome the barriers of the migration process.
