You may do this:

1. I entrusted you with the care of the child. rephrased: I entrusted you to attend on / to take care of the child.
2. I entrusted the care of the child to you. rephrased: I entrusted the care of the child to be in your hands.

However, neither rephrasing is very natural, even as lexically corrected.
