natural caregiver: This term seems to be used often in Health Canada public health texts to mean a family member or friend who provides care, for example, for an older person or a person with HIV/AIDS. The adjective "natural" does not seem to refer so much to innate caregiving abilities as to the fact that these caregivers do not generally have any training for the role, and are usually not providing care in a professional capacity. 4, record 4, English, - informal%20caregiver

La plus grande partie des soins [aux parents âgés] est assurée par les familles. Et, dans la famille, pratiquement toujours par une femme... En effet, dans une proportion de 70 % à 80 %, ce rôle de soutien revient aux femmes. Entre l’âge de 35 et 64 ans, près de la moitié d’entre elles peuvent s’attendre à prendre soin d’un parent âgé en plus des autres responsabilités (travail, enfants, ménage) qui leur incombent. On les appelle femmes «sandwich», un terme qui nous vient des Américains, ou «aidantes naturelles», dans le langage des services sociaux. 3, record 5, French, - aidant%20de%20la%20g%C3%A9n%C3%A9ration%20sandwich
