Pediatric nurses in the Covid-19 isolation room must understand caring behavior based on 10 Watson Carative in providing positive experiences for children and parents who are hospitalized in the Covid-19 isolation room. The goal of the study was to identify the perception between nurses and parents about nurses' caring behavior based on every 10 Watson creatives in the Covid-19 Child isolation room and identifications the differences found based on the different tests of 2 respondents.  This research used mix method study. Respondents were taken with purposive sampling techniques. The data was collected based on each of  Watson's 10 Caratives using CNPIS-70 developed by Cossettte in 2005. Analyze data with univariate and bivariate analysis. The results are presented with a frequency distribution of each Carative and a different test in each Carative with the Man Whitney test and the T-Test using Alpha values < 5%. Sequential explanatory used after quantitative results are complete. The results found that assessments of caring behavior based on the total of each Watson Carative dimension based on nurse perception were lower than parental perception values.  Sub-themes found that mobile phones help, always silent to hear when parents express opinions, and continuous learning for nurses about Covid-19 Children. For parents, physical contact and lower parental anxiety about nursing procedures in the isolation room is a form of caring for nurses.
