Kinship Caregiver
A kinship caregiver is a family member or close family friend who takes on the responsibility of caring for a child when the biological parents are unable to do so. This can include providing a stable and loving home, meeting the child's physical and emotional needs, and making important decisions regarding their upbringing. Kinship caregivers play a crucial role in maintaining family connections and ensuring the well-being of children in times of crisis or hardship.
