不是哦，“tend”有照顾的意思，“tend to"的意思有这么几种：
1. to be disposed or inclined in action, operation, or effect to dosomething:
2.to be disposed toward an idea, emotion, way of thinking, etc.:
3.to lead or conduce, as to some result or resulting condition:
4.to be inclined to or have a tendency toward a particular quality, state,or degree:
5.(of a journey, course, road, etc.) to lead or be directed in a particulardirection (usually followed by to, toward, etc.)
如果一定想用“tend"这个词代替”take care of"去表示什么的话，建议直接用”tend“这个动词就好了。
例句：

To tend a fire.
To tend the sick.

tend =care for 二者没有区别。
但是tend to就不同了。 他是倾向于的意思。等于 be apt to， be likely to，be prone to

Tend (to) sb/sth
等于to care for sb/sth
照料；照管；护理
立即：
Doctors and nurses tended the injured. 医生和护士护理受伤者。
