Creationism (aka creation "science" aka intelligent design) is a hypothesis which basically posits that God created the universe, the world and all its contents, as accounted in the book of Genesis. I would add that not everyone who believes in Creation by God holds that it happened just as told in Genesis. This broader view also recognizes a Divine Creator, but does not require the specific story of Genesis.

How did the biblical writers show that we are called to be caretakers Of creation?

Biblical writers emphasize humanity’s role as caretakers of creation through passages like Genesis 1:26-28, where God grants humans dominion over the earth and its creatures, highlighting stewardship rather than exploitation. Additionally, the call to cultivate and keep the Garden of Eden (Genesis 2:15) reflects a responsibility to nurture and protect the environment.
