Looked after a car for someone (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cared

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

'looked after' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'a car for someone' is the wordplay.
'for' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'someone' becomes 'ed' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'car'+'ed'='CARED'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for cared that I've seen before include "had feelings" , "Felt affection (for)" , "Was concerned" , "Felt concern or interest" , "Tended" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
