History VideoGame / CarrieTheCaregiver

* HeartwarmingOrphan: Carrie is a downplayed adult example. While her father is not mentioned as having died, he's pretty much abandoned Carrie's family long ago, and her mother dies when Carrie just started young adulthood. Despite having come from a broken home, she remains optimistic and finds great joy in taking care of children. Possibly {{deconstructed}} when she reveals in her blog that she's using her career to cope with the loss she has dealt from her own family.

* DistantSequel: Episode 2 onward are set a few years apart as we see her children get older.

* DoorstepBaby: At the end of Episode 1's final level, [[spoiler:a baby girl is left in the nursery at the last minute.

Unable to bear the thought of taking the baby to an orphanage, leaving her with an uncertain future, Carrie adopts her instead. In Episode 2, it's revealed she's been given the name "Safi".]]

''Carrie the Caregiver'' is a series of {{Time Management Game}}s. Her job says it all. She tends and cares for children (babies in her first game) and must manage everything as fast as she can. Of course, since this is a ''Time Management Game'', it's pretty much the same thing with others and the more chains you do, the more you get points, etc.
