Tabby is prepared to look after another's young (4-3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

baby-sit

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

'look after another's young' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'tabby is prepared' is the wordplay.
'prepared' indicates an anagram.
'tabby'+'is'='tabbyis'
'tabbyis' anagrammed gives 'BABY-SIT'.

'to' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for baby-sit that I've seen before include "Tend" , "Look after young children" , "Look after a young child" , "Look after children temporarily" , "Take charge to allow parents to go out" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
