Should I Trust The Sitter With Medication?
My child takes five different medications a day, can I trust the babysitter to give her her medications properly or should I either reschedule her medication or go out after I have given the medicine to her? If I let the babysitter give my daughter her medication, should I give her written instructions for them or just verbally explain it to the sitter?

I would give her written instructions and also have her be there when you give her medications so that she can observe. You are already allowing this sitter to care for your little one, so you must trust her at some level. You may even have the pharmacist or doctor explain the medication and give written directions to both of you. I hope this helps and good luck with your little one.
