I would assume from your posts that your daughter is unable to change her own diapers due to her physical disabilities, and that the babysitter is necessary for you to go to work or do other errands away from home. The words "new babysitter" also implies that you have selected a new person to care for your daughter and plan to use that person on a regular basis. Diaper changing duties should be or have been included in the selection/interview process. Unless the babysitting will only be for an hour or two at a time, the babysitter's duties should include diaper changes as necessary. The alternative would be for your daughter to remain in a wet or messy diaper until you return home.
