female caregiver
A female person who looks after other people, cares for them, or supports them, for example children, older people, or people with disabilities.

female supervisor
A female person who provides academic guidance and supervision for a research paper (e.g. a doctoral dissertation) or a project.
Meine Betreuerin hat mir wertvolles Feedback für meine Masterarbeit gegeben.
My female supervisor gave me valuable feedback on my master's thesis.
The word is derived from 'betreuen' (to look after, to supervise). The ending '-er' forms the masculine form ('der Betreuer' — male caregiver/supervisor), and the ending '-in' makes it the feminine form. This pattern is very common in German for job titles and names for people.
Die neue Betreuerin kümmert sich um die Projektplanung.
The new female supervisor is taking care of the project planning.
You can tell from context what kind of 'Betreuerin' (female caregiver/supervisor) is meant. If it is about children, seniors, or social institutions, it means a person who provides care and support. In the context of university, research, or a final thesis, it means an academic mentor.
Die Betreuerin in der Kita liest den Kindern eine Geschichte vor.
The female caregiver at the daycare center reads the children a story.
A 'Betreuerin' (female caregiver) in the social sense works in typical places such as 'im Kindergarten' (at the kindergarten), 'in der Schule' (at school), 'im Hort' (at the after-school care center), or 'im Seniorenheim' (at the retirement home).
Als Betreuerin in einem Ferienlager ist sie für die Sicherheit der Kinder verantwortlich.

educator
Both words can refer to a woman who looks after children in an institution. A Betreuerin mainly takes care of the children and supports them, while an Erzieherin also has an educational role and supports their development. Betreuerin is suitable for general assistance, while Erzieherin is used for educational work.
