You're giving off caregiver/caretaker vibes right now.
A girl hugs and babies their plushie and I want to comment on that she's giving off maternal vibes in that moment. Could I do that by saying "you're giving off caregiver/caretaker vibes right now"?
I usually see the words "caregiver" and "caretaker" associated with a profession rather than literally a person who takes care of another such as a mother. While there are dictionary entries that essentially say the latter, they don't give unambiguous examples.
Do you think those words work the way I want to use them?
Now that I'm thinking about it, it'd probably be ambiguous anyway, so perhaps I should stick to "maternal". Open to suggestions, though.
