agree  mike23: Agree to a childminder. A babysitter might not be the best choice in the context and a guardian sounds like a 'legal guardian' responsible for the care and management of a minor.

  -> Chciałam dać Ci agree, więc proszę wstaw Twoją odpowiedź, pisaliśmy w tym samym czasie prawie. Dlaczego babysitter nie jest dobre? / Czyli użycie "guardian" tylko stosowne dla prawnego opiekuna? / A co z "child's carer"?

I have just had a word with my colleague for England and he said that "a responsible adult" is a nice term in the context. Perhaps guardian or childminder could be used, too, but for his ear a responsible adult sounds best. I'm not writing this to support my idea but to give you a broader range of options to choose from. Cheers
