Childrearing is a complex phenomenon which engages different stakeholders and involves divergent activities, one of which is sibling care giving. Among the rural Nso of Cameroon, it is a common practice for parents to leave their younger children with their elder siblings as they set out for some outdoor activities. This research was designed to explore the activities that characterize sibling care giving and assess the extent to which such routine, conscious and unconscious tasks equip the sibling caregivers with skills that could enable them adapt and exploit the opportunities in their environment. The Sample of the study comprised 50 caregivers of 7-11years old and 50 parents selected using the convenient and purposive sampling techniques from Kishong a rural enclave of Nso, a principal chiefdom of the Cameroon Grasslands. The instruments used for data collection were; observations check list, an interview guide, and informal conversations. A digital camera was used to record some of the activities carried out by sibling caregivers. The data was analysed using thematic analysis. From the basis of this, the findings revealed that sibling care giving in Nso culture is the preserve of boys and girls at the early stage of development (5-7years old) but it inclines to the female children at the later stage of development (8-11years old). The findings also revealed that some of the activities that characterized sibling care giving in rural Nso are food preparation, feeding, toilet training, laundry, lulling the younger sibling to sleep, supervision and monitoring of the younger siblings as they carry out their household chores and school assignments. It was realised that the act of care giving enhances the caregivers' divergent thinking, socialisation, leadership skills and specially trains and prepare young girls for motherhood. In as much as it is necessary to train older siblings to take care of their younger ones, parents should create time to monitor the care giving activities in order to ensure the general wellbeing of their children and to maintain the emotional tie with them.
