Want to answer more questions in the Domesticity category?
Maybe give some free advice about: Babysitting?
take a babysitting course form the red cross or a hospital. get certified in cpr.
]
Try babysitting someone in the family for free to prove resposibility.
]
maybe you should try to sit and have a talk with her about it...figure out a way to prove to her that you're not a baby...hope it works!
]
Take a babysitting class. That way, both your mom and the people you are babysitting for knows that you are responsible and can be trusted.

I had the same problem. What I did was talked to my mom about going to a babysitting coarse. Just gather a few friends and sign up. After that she will prob. feel like you ready. Dont be embaressed, it happens to everybody. It just means you mom cares about you, and doesn't want you to mess up while oyu babysitting!
P.S. Check you fire/police station or local hospital for the classes!

You should be allowed to babysit at your age. I personally know a lot of girls who are 13 and 14 and babysit. But they have also taken classes on it. Maybe you should talk to your mother about taking babysitting classes at your local hospital. If you talked to your mom, you could try to persuade her to let you babysit. You could also make a list of reasons why you want to babysit, and then have her make a list of reasons why she doesn't want you to. Then share them and talk it over. Keep trying, and good luck if you are allowed to!

Prove to your mom that you are ready to babysit. Help her around the house, or play with the younger kids and show her how responsible you are.
hope i could help! good luck!

try to prove to her that your mature enough to carry one a job like that. babysitting is a relli hard job and you have to be verry carefull i am almost 16 years old and i have been babysitting sense i was 11. not only for ppl i relli dont know but for all my family members to. Going home at night is so great for me. but then my mom had a baby so i started going to my dads house to get away from it all. KNOW my dads girlfriend had a baby. its very hard now that everyone knows im good with kids everyone wants me to babysit, it sux.(and pluse they dont always pay you). i hope i helped.

first of all, you totally have 2 obey your mom and not babysit till she aproves it , no matter how hard it may b. try showing her your mature and responsible by helping out w/ younger siblings or pets if u have any. if u dont, try just helping out around the house. hope this helps! - allie

Try to show that you are growing up... Show her that you are responsable. Give her reason to believe in you.

babysitting is a hard job..could be your Mom just thinks you are too young. Go wiht a freind and babysit..or do it while your Mom is home to show her how good you are..if she still says no..try asking again every few months..trust me..eventually she will let you!
]
well if you have a little sib show her that you can take care of her help her with dinner spend more time studying than chatting practice any instruments u have more than usual then after a week or 2 of this ask your mom agian or if she doesn't work ask your dad be sure not to whine when asking!

Well, your mom isnt going to change her mind unless you start showing her that you really are mature enough. Good grades and getting school assignments in on time will really help you. Also if you have any chores at home, do them without your mom telling your a billion times. Keep your room clean and dont talk back or get in trouble. Your mom will eventually realize that you are mature. But after she lets you start babysitting, dont stop with the mature behavoir, your mom does have the power to make you stop babysitting.

you can either:
get a babydoll and show her how you would handle it
take babysitting classes so shell know you can handle it
hope i helped

I'm 13 too..yah it sucks when they do that. But anyway, just when your mom's cooking, cleaning, etc. ask if you can help her with anything. Even when she's NOT cleaning, you could just vacuum or clean stuff. If she sees you and asks you why you are doing that, just say something like, "You don't have to do everything around the house. I'd like to help." She might then realize that you ARE mature enough to babysit. Also, if you have younger brothers or sisters, clean up a little after them, and spend time with them to show you really are mature enough. Good luck..hope you get to babysit! If ya need anything else, just ask :)
lOve..aLways,

I know how you feel. I'm 13 and my parents wont let me either. It's all very well talking to her about it but you need to actually show her you're mature enough. Clean around the house, don't argue with her, do what you're asked the first time and don't stay out late. In time she will see that you are mature enough to look after children.
]
Talk to her about and tell her how you feel.
