Primary Caregiver

Steady caregivers notice needs before the dependent person can explain them. They are not seeking risk; their strength is staying close enough to adjust help while growth happens at its own pace. You’d see this in the aunt who cuts the sandwich smaller without being asked and leaves the bigger half for later.

Integration property: Stays tuned in to someone who depends on them, day after day
