carer
One who tends
A carer is someone who looks after a person unable to care for themselves fully—typically an elderly, disabled, or chronically ill family member.
The term is primarily British; Americans more often say caregiver.
She became her mother's carer after the stroke.
Professional carers provide similar support for pay.
