peer agreement (net): +1elder care sitters/ elder caregivers Explanation: Your´re right! But I would give you more option. Elder care sitter is usual term, but also you can use elder caregiver in term of company or group of people. |

peer agreement (net): +1
peer agreement (net): +1carers Explanation: Mmmm.. I don't think I've ever heard the term "elder sitters", it doesn't sound right to me. It kind of implies that they are sitter which are old, not people who take care of the elderly if you see what I mean. I think "carers" could be an option. can you provide more context? -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 13 hrs (2007-01-28 14:04:25 GMT) Post-grading -------------------------------------------------- Yes, it is a UK term. I lived there for 5 years :) |
