grandparent care

Relatives watching grandchildren

Grandparent care is childcare provided by grandparents, typically while parents work.

The arrangement may be informal and unpaid or part of a structured caregiving plan.

Grandparent care saved us thousands in daycare costs.

The term also covers situations where grandparents become primary caregivers due to parental absence, illness, or incapacity.
