take care of

Take care of something. To dedicate time to resolve a situation.


If you can bring the drinks for the party, I'll take care of the food.

My secretary told me all the travel arrangements have been taken care of.

No, you paid for dinner last time, let me take care of (= pay for) it.



Take care of somebody/something. To look after someone or something.


I take care of my daughter on the weekends.

Don't worry about me, I'm a big girl and I can take care of myself
(= I do not need anyone else to protect me).
