Zach, do not try to get her fired. like many on here have already told you, you are not being mature about this. That is why you still require a babysitter. It's true. Age is not everything some people are old enough to babysit at 12 or 13 and others are not.
Some aren't old enough at 16 even. Do not put so much stock in your age, you are still very much a boy. I can tell from some of the thingsyour talk about and have said you have done.
I'm not sure you get along well enough with your siblings to watch them and I don't think you really want that responsibility.
Try to be mature if you want those priveledges that mean so much to you. Plotting all the time to get back at oyur brother or get the sitter fired, etc is immature. it really is.
i checked out a couple of your other questions and here;s a quick take on those.
mom's cooking. Do not tell your mom that her cooking is bad, it may be, but even if it is that will hurt her feelings very much and even if you don't see her do it, she will cry later. Be very glad you have a mom who is cooking meals for you. many kids do not.
You also said in a reply to me that you were going to be good and then talk to your mom NEXT week about the grounding option. That is way to soon! re-read my answer, I said it won't happen in weeks even, let alone one. You will have to spend, probably months undoing some things and convincing them you are maturing. patience is so hard when you are a kid, but you are just going to need some in this case. Don't even bring it up in a week, that will appear immature.
You need to stop plotting to get back at people, that is so NOT MATURE. Besides, it is morally wrong.
Do not tell lies about others and your sitter or do things to her or her stuff, like some (a very immature few) have suggested.
Take care.

When I was younger my parents used to always asked us which babysitter we liked best and of course we always chose the girl who let us stay up until the t.v stations shut down,meaning we were exhausted in the morning.
Kids don't always know what is best for them. My son is 14& a lot of the time I am lucky to have one of my older daughters to babysit (17&18)-failing this our neighbour who is 16 babysits sometimes w/her boyfriend, He doesn't like this but he has four younger siblings 12,5,3&17months and she is very good with them. I couldn't possibly expect him to look after all of them alone.
If you are anything like my son&you seem to be......you dislike the sitter because sh carrys out your parents instructions-she is mainly there for your younger siblings but that doesn't mean she shouldn't tell you to go to bed. My son has to be in bed by 10.30pmw/lights out @11.00pm at the weekend and he doesn't like that she enforces this rule but I am glad she does as I cannot trust him to go to bed of his own accord.
Just give her a break and do what your told-maybe if you weren't damaging your brothers stuff or lying or dodging punishments your parents would feel you are responsible enough to babysit but for now ou sound very babyish to me.

Have you tried being really honest with your parents and asking them to look for someone else? Do you have examples of her showing you disrespect that you could tell your parents? What about getting into an after school activity during the time she is at your house, so you can avoid her?

If she is doing her job and taking care of the kids then leave her alone. You say you are big enough to take care of yourself and your siblings but you have displayed a large amount of immaturity by this question. Grow up and then you won't need a sitter.

well, since your asking this, it shows that you still need grow up before you can watch your younger siblings. You need to look at things from you parents side....... Prove to them that your capable of watching the younger siblings.

here is an idea.
why dont you grow up?
she is bossy and treat you like a kid because you act like one, trying to get her fired? how childish!
be grown up, listian to her, respect her, help her look after your brothers, once she feels like she doesnt need to babysit you she wont!

if your parents really care about you they will listen to you and let you decide who takes care of you. a kid should have a say in (at least) who his babysitter is. my parents always asked me who they should call to babysit for us that night. they were even curtious enough to ask who we felt like having babysit us. i dont think it should matter to your parents who is sitting, as long as they are qualified and responsible.
