What don't you know how to do honey? It's pretty self explanitory, isn't it?
Just lay the kid down, open the diaper and get it out of there, wipe up whatevers there (if anything) and put a new diaper on. The flaps go in the back and the picture on the front.
If its really messy get the diaper off and put the kiddo it the sink or tub and rinse off.

Make sure that you use a wipe and clean in all the little creases. Then, open the diaper up. See which side has the sticky tapes and that is the back. Place that on the changing table under her butt, then pull the front part through her legs.
Undo the tapes from the back part of the diaper (they should be on the side of the baby).
Pull the diaper snug, but don't cut off circulation, then tape with the sticky tabs.
Best of luck.

Why did your parents leave you with your siter if you can't even change a diaper?
1 lay her on her back
2 undo velcro tabs on the diaper
3 hold her ankles in the air with one hand and pull her bottom up just enough to slide the diaper from undereath her.
4 while you're still holding her bottom up wipe her with diaper wipes.
5 slide diaper under her (printed side is face down the velcro tab side is under her bottom)
6 pull front side of diaper on her and strap the tabs on.
It will help if you have the extra diaper unfolded and ready and also have wipes pulled out to use. Do on a blanket, changing pad etc something that can be washed if it gets messy.

Ok..place a towel under her before you start, because even little girls leak. Have everything you need before you start near you, because once you start, you are committed, and it is hard to go get stuff. Have the new diaper open, grab the ankles with one hand, lift up, clean the area front to back so that you don't start a bladder infection, put the used wipes in the old diaper, slide new daiper under, put on protect cream, do up tabs, wipe extra protect cream off of your hands and any place it got on your sister where it isn't suppose to, wrap all used wipes in old diaper and secure with tabs to throw away. Done

um, i hope this is a joke, but in the event that it's not, don't worry it's not really hard at all.
It's only 2 tabs, a math lesson at school is harder. Try calling mom on the cellie if you have any questions.
Wash hands before and after.
Make sure you have everything ready: Fresh Diaper, plenty of wipes, a clean safe place to lay baby, proper place for dirty diaper. I like to put the stinking ones in a fred meyer bag and then put em in the diaper pail.
the toughest part is getting a kid to sit still. just talk em through it, look her in the eye, explain what you are doing and why. Give em a toy, sing a song keep em occupied.
There are always putting step by step diapering instructions in Parenting magazines: You can google it, and here is a direct link:
http://babyparenting.about.com/cs/diapering/ht/changediaper.htm
-Make sure you have everything you need nearby.
-Lay your baby on his back on the changing surface. If you are using a changing table, it's recommended to use the safety straps.
-Unfasten the diaper tabs. You can raise your child's bottom off the diaper by gently grasping his ankles and lifting. If there is a lot of bowel movement present, you may want to use the upper half of the diaper to gently sweep it towards the lower half of the diaper. If you are changing a girl, make sure you always wipe from front to back to help prevent infection.
-Slide the diaper away from the baby and place nearby, but out of reach of baby.
-If your baby is a newborn, you will want to cleanse the area thoroughly with either cotton balls and warm water or with a wet baby washcloth. Wipes, especially those containing alcohol, can cause rashes and irritation until children are about two months old.
-Place any used disposable cleaning supplies on top of the soiled diaper.
-Slide a clean diaper under your baby's bottom making sure tabs are on the portion located under your child's bottom. Most diapers today have colorful markings or characters indicating the front of the diaper.
-Before closing the diaper, apply any ointments or creams your doctor has recommended for rashes. Doing this step after you've placed the new diaper under your baby will help prevent you from having to clean ointments off the changing surface, which can sometimes be difficult.
-Close the new diaper by pulling the front up over his belly and pulling the tabs open and around to the fastening surface. If you are not using specially cut newborn diapers, be sure to fold the diaper down to avoid irritation of the umbilical stump.
-Dispose of old diaper by wrapping tabs all the way around and securing inside a bag if desired.
-Wash changing surface and hands. This step is especially important if your baby is ill, to avoid recontamination.
Tips:
-Follow your doctor's instructions when caring for a healing circumcision.
-Take care not to make the diaper too tight. You do want to avoid leaks, however, a too-tight diaper can cause pressure on your baby's stomach making him more likely to spit up. This is especially true after feedings.
-If your baby has a rash that doesn't seem to be clearing up after a few days, or if he seems to be in a lot of pain and has skin that is red and raw in appearance, contact your health care provider immediately.
-If you are using a changing table, always make sure that you use the safety straps. Even when using the straps, never leave a child unattended on an elevated surface.
-Some parents don't like using a changing table. An alternative to this is to use a changing pad on the floor (about $5 at most discount stores). These are easily concealed underneath a couch or bed, and you can keep a decorative basket nearby (but out of baby's reach) for changing supplies.
What You Need:
diapers
cotton balls, baby washcloths or wipes
creams or ointments for rashes
baby lotion if desired
warm water for cleansing if wipes aren't used

Take the soiled one off, wipe her "areas" and put a fresh one on. Got any duct tape...?
