This work aims to discuss the pedagogical specificity of daycare and teaching with babies and children up to 3 years old in this institutional context, based on research that aims to understand the small and attentional gestures that occur between adults and babies in the nursery of a public daycare in a Brazilian capital. The methodological path was cartography, using as reference the studies of Passos, Kastrup and Escóssia. In this context, the teacher-researcher built an archive of images that were tracked and mobilized reflections on care, affection and joint attention as pedagogical components. The perspective of care as ethics, that is, the adult’s questioning of themselves and attention to others, was constituted as a relational mode between adults and babies. Along this path, mutual gaze emerged as an attentional and affective pedagogical gesture in everyday educational life. Duets of looks in games of hide and seek, between babies and between them and adults, with basins, fabrics, crib rails and other materials; Shadow games between adults and babies showed the ability to ensure relationships, care, attention and affection mobilized by looking.
