Safekeeping (4)

I believe the answer is:

care

(Other definitions for care that I've seen before include "Caution, regard for safety" , "Serious attention and thought" , "Race (anag.)" , "See 16" , "Mind" .)

I've seen this clue in the King Feature Syndicate, The New York Times, The Sun and The Wall Street Journal.
