house parent
Resident hall caretaker
A house parent is an adult who supervises a residential facility for young people—a dormitory, group home, or boarding school residence.
House parents live on-site and provide daily oversight, guidance, and a parental presence for residents who are away from their own families: The house parents enforced curfew and checked homework each night.
