喜樂美語
  1. 1

    A caregiver is someone who looks after a person who cannot fully look after themselves: a small child, a sick person, or an old person. In American English this is the ordinary word. It can be a parent, a paid in a house or a care home, or a family member who stays with Grandma. Forms, hospitals, and the news like this word; it sounds kind and a little formal. Though actually it is not the same as a doctor. A doctor tries to make you well; a caregiver does the daily work — food, washing, sitting with you, keeping you safe. The person who receives the care is not the caregiver.

    照顧者（美國常用；台灣也說看護、照服員）
