That's a sticky situation Pegasus.
Do you feel comfortable enough to trust her behaviors?
Do you get a nanny-cam to monitor her? Concealed tape-recorder?
Do you question your daughter about her behavior?
If you did finally become too uncomfortable with her being there, who would be her replacement?
And would that replacement have more or less issues for you to worry about. Then would you be able to find out about those issues?
Could you talk to the babysitter's parents about your concerns (generally without specifics)?
I know I ask a lot of questions on this but I'm hoping to give you some food for thought. Maybe you should trust your gut, but these are certainly questions I would ask myself along the way.
You've used illegals and have a diagnosis, but then again it is your daughter. Of course she wouldn't need protection from you, it's sort of built in you to protect her.
Please keep us updated.
