Look after infant, changing bib, say, on time

I believe the answer is:

babysit

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

'look after' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'changing bib say on time' is the wordplay.
'changing' is an anagram indicator.
'on' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'time' becomes 't' (abbreviation).
'bib'+'say'='bibsay'
'bibsay' is an anagram of 'babysi'.
'babysi'+'t'='BABYSIT'

'infant' acts as a link.
This may not be right. It may belong to another bit of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?
