Synonym for "Protectiveness"

Hi! I'm looking for the right word (noun) to describe trait usually described as "female" (next to traits such as sensitiveness, tenderness etc) that is "taking care of somebody (child, someone weaker) without negative meaning. Is it "protectiveness"? The dictionary also shows me"caring". Can anyone help me to find the right word?

I need only one, appropriate word. Maternal instinct is too general.
