How can I convince my cousin to let me watch his kids?

My cousin and his fiance just had a new baby girl. His fiance already had a two year old daughter. She is 20 years old-I am 18. I%26#039;ve offered to babysit-I actually REALLY want to! But they don%26#039;t think I can handle it. I know I can and would like to be given a chance. I%26#039;m very responsible. How can I convince them to let me watch my sweet little Lily and Rose?

Tell her you will watch them for an hour or two while they go to dinner. With cell phones at the ready she needs to take some tilme off from her kids anyways and you sound reponsible enough in your question.


I think once you show her that short dinner date babysitting works out fine you can ask for a longer times like 2-4 hours while she shops and gets some lunch. If you never babysitted before she might be just concerned.. but if she is overprotective I would say more than likely you will never get to babysit her kids. It all comes down to the fact.. does she trust you?
Reply:Screw them, babysit for people who would appreciate it and make 10 or 12 bucks an hour.
Reply:Hi,





There is no easy answer except for you to tell them that you really want to and would really love to do it. Ask for a trial and if you really can do it the kids would sure help tell their parents that they want their aunt. :)
Reply:the mother should take care of their own daughter. why isn%26#039;t she taking care of the kid, did she go back to work already? I%26#039;m a stay at home mom, and was raised by a stay at home mom and wouldn%26#039;t want it any other way.


would u rather be raised and educated by your own parents or by a nanny/babysitter, daycare personell?





thank you!
