How do the roles of caregivers compare to those of parents?

Caregivers help meet a child’s needs and provide support, but the role is not limited to a parent. For example, a relative, foster parent, or child-care worker may be a caregiver. Therefore, “Caregivers are part of a child’s support structure, but not all caregivers are parents” is the best answer.
