Art/Literary - Slang / informal/slang | | Russian term or phrase: воспитка (воспитатель) | Коллеги, помогите, пожалуйста, перевести, чтобы сохранился пренебрежительный оттенок, если это возможно - слово повторяется многократно в тексте
речь идёт о воспитателях детского дома, которых дети называют "воспитки"
я думаю, воспитатель в дет. доме это supervisor |

"(orphanage) counselor (teacher, instructor, etc.)"
But to add that loving touch you want, make him "that *sshole of an ...", "that piece of sh*t (cake :)", "that freaking ...", etc. The list is endless so just make up your mind about how much contempt you really need there :)
