Danseur: I'm remarkably tender (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

nursemaid

'tender' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'danseur i'm remarkably' is the wordplay.
'remarkably' is an anagram indicator.
'danseur'+'im'='danseurim'
'danseurim' with letters rearranged gives 'NURSEMAID'.

(Other definitions for nursemaid that I've seen before include "Be overprotective towards (someone)" , "Nanny" , "Alice, for example" , "Girl tending young children" , "One looking after children" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
