Ask her did she want you to be a god mother ar a babysitter. You will be happy to baby sit some times but you have a life and she should realize that her life now is with that baby.

Why are you allowing her to get mad at you when you can't do a FAVOR for her.
I take it that you've kept him many times for her. And, it's not your fault if you can't watch him everyday. You're not the one that carried him for nine months and gave birth to him... therefore you shouldn't be held responsible for him everyday unless your job is a certified baby sitter, which apparently is not.
You need to explain to her that you are busy with your OWN child and your school/career.. If she gets mad then she is obviously not a good friend to you and is selfish.. If that's the case then you shouldn't be around a person who only cares about themselves and what works best for their situations.

that seems very selfish to me (on her part)
you will have to sit down with her and discuss your boundaries ie are you even willing to be her babysitter?
if so - name the times that suit you - if it doesn't work for her, then you tell her, I'm sorry, but that's all the time I have - you will have to start to pursue another alternative.
it would be helpful for you to have 2 or 3 alternative ideas to start her along.
don't back down on this, if you do, you will have to face the fact that you are a pushover for the rest of your life

A "Godparent" is to be a SPIRITUAL aspect in a child's life. People take it so far out of context and expect you to babysit, buy clothes, take their kids on vacations, pay for their college, etc., etc. While it is certainly ok to do these things, it should not be EXPECTED and certainly not COMMANDED. You need to let her know what your role as a godparent is and stick to it. She may get upset, but so be it.

You can't take care of anybody until you take care of yourself first. You are helping her to be responsible if you tell her the truth: don't make babies if you can't take care of them.
Brutal but true.
