If I were a parent and this happened to my child, I would not be comfortable leaving my child with anyone until the seizures had been brought under control with medication.
It sounds like these seizures come when DCG gets a fever. It is not like epilepsy or other seizures that you can medicate. They said to just give Tylenol or Advil at the irst sign of fever but that is not a guarantee that there won't be a seizure. The mom said that I should call 911 at the first sign of seizure but I am just getting scared to be responsible for this risky child when there are other children that require my attention and I can't always have my eyes on this child every second.

I.e What if I am toilet training one of my toddlers where I can sometimes be in the washroom with a little one off and on for 10 minutes at a time

I am thinking whether to bring it up to the parents and ask whether they might feel more comfortable having someone come to their home 1 on 1. It would be more expensive for them but I would imagine that it would be the safest thing to have someone watch this child 1 on 1.

She is still going through teething and even then she will get a fever, colds, etc. Every fever is dangerous for seizure risk.

And the hospital said this is likely to last until she is 5 or 6 and then she would outgrow it.
