Well showing her that your scared to babysit alone is maybe a reason why she wont let you babysit her sisters baby. When i started babysitting i always got nervus and scared but now im used to it because i do it more often. so just try a few times on your own and you too will get better practice and it will feel like a regular job. And maybe try and show your mom responcibility so she'll let you babysit her sisters baby.

When I started babysitting at age eleven, it was for kids only a few years younger than me (6 & 7 year olds), an hour or two at a time during the day, with my mom right next door. That's a really good way to get your confidence up. I wouldn't recommend sitting for babies until you've been babysitting a while and have some experience. I don't think I was sitting for younger than three until I was fifteen.

Another good way to start is to become a "mother's helper", where you help watch the child and do chores with the mother still in the house. That way, the parent is right there if you get overwhelmed. You could also take some babysitting classes if they're available. Good luck to you!
