guardianship typically refers to decision making regarding personal affairs and conservatorship is about handling money. If the minor child does not have money of their own, then you are looking for a limited guardian. If the child has money of their own that they cannot manage on their own AND you need someone to handle all the other things you list, then you either want one guardian or one limited guardian and one limited conservator. Most likely, you just want a limited guardianship.
