Hi. I'd like to know how I can translate "Cuìdarse de alguien", because I can choose between "Beware of someone" and "Take care of Someone".
It's very difficult, because the very sense of the phrase will be different!
Thank you!

I believe it is closer to "beware" or "be careful of" rather than "take care of."
Cuidarse means either to take care of oneself. Taking care of yourself includes the concept of "beware."
Cuidar means to care for someone, so I would use this to say Ï take care of my kids" Les cuido a mis hijos.
So, to say "to take care of someone" would be "cuidarle a alguien" (le instead of se shows that it's someone else being taken care of)
(I'm not a native, so maybe I'm wrong, but this is the way I understand it.)

Sarah's answer is correct, "cuidarse de" means "beware of". But wen when we're talking about "to take care of someone" we say "cuidar a alguien", instead of "cuidarle a alguien".
