Minding had cleric worried (9)
I believe the answer is:
childcare
'minding had cleric worried' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'had cleric worried' is the wordplay.
'worried' indicates an anagram (worry can mean to interfere with or disturb).
'had'+'cleric'='hadcleric'
'hadcleric' is an anagram of 'CHILDCARE'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for childcare that I've seen before include "Responsibility for family" , "concern for charges" , "Youth work" , "protection of the young" .)
