@tanguatlay,

The first two are okay, but this one is not.
"take care of" is a phrase which hangs together, so you don't need a second "of".

@McTag,
I agree. It's a phrasal verb:

Quote:

is marginally acceptable. I can imagine it being used in registers such as high rhetoric, poetry or song lyrics, but it's not standard usage.
