Abstract/Summary

Caregiving is an evident phenomenon among families all around the world. Caregiving may be performed by the parent, otherwise referred to as the primary caregiver, or in some families, there is a secondary caregiver needed to attend to the child. A secondary caregiver represents an individual who is, in essence, not the parent of the child. According to several studies, there has been discussion on the influence of secondary caregivers in childcare. This study aims to identify the existing caregiving beliefs and practices of a secondary caregiver. Furthermore, the researchers intend to investigate the influence that is instilled by the secondary caregiver to the child they are taking care of and how it determines the type of discipline they implement. This research will provide an explanation on the viewpoint of a secondary caregiver with childcare, and how they perform their duty as a secondary caregiver. The objective of this study is to obtain information from the secondary caregivers in the sample, specifically with the perception they have on their job and to recognize their role in the child’s life.
