looks after
Keeps an eye
Looks after means to take care of or be responsible for someone or something.
If you look after a child, pet, or elderly relative, you attend to their needs and well-being.
The phrase extends to non-living things too: Who looks after the garden while you're away?
It can also suggest watching over or protecting: She looks after her younger siblings at school.
