This article focuses on the presentation of some reflections concerning the way of caring in Nursery which resulted from the Master's Degree dissertation titled, "Care Meeting lived and dialogued, of the nursery staff with the child-being who lives with AIDS." It intended to understand the meaning of this care under the perspective of the Humanistic Nursery Theory of Paterson and Zderad. It was a qualitative-existential-phenomenological study with a hermeneutic analysis proposed by Motta and Crossetti, in the light of Ricouer. The perception concerning the care in experiencing the facticity of the human being was unveiled from this meeting with the nursery staff, and from this the living with finitude of the self and ethics. It was understood that ethics in the genuine meeting of the care in Nursery is essential for its authenticity, considering the existent reciprocity in the search for responsible choices in being better in the presence of the respect that exists in the relationship.
