The monolingual/bilingual dictionary site wordreference.com offers only one translation for "nuture": "persona que apoya a otros".

The site offers several options for translating the verb "to nuture": each choice is appropriate some uses of the verb, but not for other uses of the verb. Options include:

a. care for, raise (children) = criar a, educar a
b. care for, raise (plants, animals) = alimentar, criar, nutrir
c. support (a cause) = promover, apoyar
d. cultivate (a feeling) = alimentar

You could come up with translations of "nurturer" based on the individual verbs, but each translation would be restricted to the specific type of nurturing for the type of person, thing or idea that the person nurtures.
