Human Resources / administration
Slovenian term or phrase: vzdrzevalec
I've got a certificate (not to translate!!! this is more a personal thing) that I mostly understand but this term sounds tricky and too close to Croatian to be sure:

Poklic vzdzevalca matere

If I get it right it is a profession (or a job) of the
a) mother's guardian
b) person who takes care of the mother

I should fill in the form but this I could not understand...

many, many thanks!
