Look after issue for others (7)
I believe the answer is:
babysit
'look after' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both to do with social activities as well as being verbs in their base form.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
I can't explain the rest of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for babysit that I've seen before include "Look after children temporarily" , "Supervise in loco parentis" , "Take charge to allow parents to go out" , "Mind" , "Tend to kid" .)
