A sure mind needed for a baby carer (9)

I believe the answer is:

nursemaid

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'carer' is the definition.
(I have seen 'female carer' mean 'nursemaid' so perhaps 'carer' could also mean 'nursemaid')

'a sure mind needed for a baby' is the wordplay.
'a sure mind' can be anagrammed to 'NURSEMAID'.
Though, I am not clear how the anagram is indicated.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for nursemaid that I've seen before include "One looking after children" , "tender" , "Woman employed to look after children" , "caretaker" , "Nanny" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
