Andy provided a good answer. Care when used as a verb ( an action) can have an s at the end--cares, depending on the subject pronoun. I care, he or she careS, you care, we care, they care. So a person's name would also use the verb CARES. "Maria cares for her baby every day." "Tom cares for his dog when he is sick." When used as a noun, to represent the combined actions of feeding, cleaning, etc, someone or something, then it is just C-A-R-E.
