Minder

Escort or caregiver

Escort or caregiver

A minder is the person assigned to guide or escort a visitor, or to provide protection to somebody, or to otherwise assist or take care of something, i.e. a person who "minds".

Government-appointed persons to accompany foreign visitors are often termed minders, assigned to offer assistance such as acting as a guide or as a translator, or protection in dangerous areas, or to define areas of permitted travel. Often they are perceived as also attempting to censor or otherwise control the flow of information to the visitor.{{cite news

Minders can also be personal bodyguards or protectors, either in an official capacity such as protecting celebrities or VIPs, or in an unofficial capacity as a protector of members of the criminal underworld, as described by the UK television series Minder.{{cite web

A minder can also be a term for anyone who looks after the interests of someone or something, such as a talent manager, a caretaker, or a person that ensures that a certain official protocol or plan is adhered to by others, or someone that is designated to look after someone who needs assistance (cf. UK English: Child minder for nanny).{{cite news |access-date=14 January 2009 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090119103908/http://uk.news.yahoo.com/5/20090112/twl-minder-wanted-for-island-paradise-3fd0ae9.html |archive-date=19 January 2009 |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20071224045036/http://www.f1grandprixtours.com/south-african-a1gp-tours-tickets-hotels.php |archive-date = 24 December 2007}}
