A Caregiver's Affidavit will allow you to 1) enroll the child in school and 2) if you are a relative, consent to medical care on behalf of the child. If you are not a relative, you may consent to school-related medical care only and it is recommended that you obtain legal guardianship.
A guardian is different from a caregiver because when a child has a caregiver, either the caregiver or the parent can make decisions for the child. When a child has a guardian, only the guardian, not the parent, can make decisions.
