Caregiver

What it is

A Caregiver nurtures and looks after a partner, often a Little. Many go by Daddy or Mommy.

What it can look like

Gentle rules like bedtimes. Making sure a partner has eaten. Comfort, praise and rewards. Firm but loving guidance.

Often pairs with

Little, Pet, Brat, Boy, Girl.

Not the same as

Anything to do with real children. This is a dynamic between adults, about care and comfort.

Doing it safely

Littles can be in a vulnerable headspace, so check consent while they're in their adult headspace, before play. Watch for them dropping out of the headspace and needing their adult self back.

Talking about it

"I love looking after you. Would you like me to be your Daddy (or Mommy) sometimes?"
