Want to answer more questions in the Domesticity category?
Maybe give some free advice about: Babysitting?
make a list of resons for your sister, and explain each of them in a very detailed descripton, then find some way to prove it to her. I hope this helps! =D

sometime when your sister is around then show her that you are responsible by changing the baby's diaper or feeding it or something like that. just don't try to be too obvios about it. how old are you anyway. i think if you're older then 13 then you should be able to babysit an infant but just think of how your sister feels. she's probably really protective about this child that she had to carry around for 9months.
try my suggestions. i hope it helps.

show her that you can feed it, change diapers, and entertain it. i can guarantee she'll change her mind especially when no one else can watch the baby that day.
Hope i helped..

Don't worry, its not that she doesnt trust you at all.. Its her baby.. its a maternal thing.. she would have a hard time trusting anyone who hasnt had a baby before.. dont worry, in time it will come to the point where she will let you look after him.. how old are you? seriously.. if you want a good answer.. we need your age :) thanks
** Condoneing the realists approach, dont bother with the crap other people tell you, it doesnt hardly work.. ill tell you the nitty gritty that will REALLY get the job done! **

Here's what I suggest: Try giving her a "night in" where she doesn't stay in the same room or anything like that, and you watch her child. If you have a problem she's there, and if you don't then she'll see that you can take care of him on your own. Good luck!

You should really hang around her more and keep on doing that until she finnaly gets the point. If you are absolutly sure your able to, i would say ask your mom and ask her to try and convince your sister. You should help your sister by doing simple errands for her, jusdt to get the trust thing going.

It's probably first baby jitters. New mothers trust their babies with very few people so I wouldn't take it personally. My sister has two children and is still picky about who she lets take care of the babies.
I would suggest asking your sister if she would considering letting you watch the baby yourself as long as there is someone else in the house. That way you have the responsibility for the baby, but your sister doesn't have to worry about what you would do if something happened. Once she's gotten used to you taking care of the baby alone but with someone in the house, talk to her again and ask her if she'll let you watch the baby completely unsupervised for a short period of time. For example, for thirty minutes while she runs to the store. Once she gets used to that, you can work your way up to longer periods of time.
Good luck and congrats on the new baby.
