Caring for changes to right omen (9)

I believe the answer is:

mothering

'caring for' is the definition.
(mothering is a kind of caring for)

'changes to right omen' is the wordplay.
'changes to' indicates anagramming the letters (I've seen 'change to' mean this).
'right'+'omen'='rightomen'
'rightomen' with letters rearranged gives 'MOTHERING'.

(Another definition for mothering that I've seen is " Looking after".)

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