Ocuparse de means to take care of something or somebody.
Examples:
Me ocupo de mis hijos (I take care of my children).
Nos ocupamos de las cuentas de la empresa (We take care of our company's books).
Ocuparse con does not sound right to me. It sounds like a literal translation from the English to occupy yourself with something.

I suggest you try the dictionary, then you'll be as confused as I am.
"Ocuparse" without a preposition performs the expected functions like occupy (both mentally and territorially) and similar words like fill.
When you add the various prepositions, "ocuparse" is shown as converting to "deal in/with" etc.
Hope you understand it better than I do.
