1) How old are you? If you're around 13, you should be taking classes to prepare yourself. Learn CPR, heimlich, etc. PREPARE yourself.
2) Babysitting is more than just loving kids. Talk to your mom and PROVE that you are mature enough to handle a summer job. Don't whine, but discuss.
3) Start to look at clients in your area--do you know someone who is looking for a babysitter? Put the feelers out there.

I got a good idea...well I don't know if this works in every high school but since you are 15...you are either a freshman or a sophmore, right? When I was in high school we had health class and for that class, we had to do a certain amount of community service hours (volunteer). If your school has that and you still haven't done them....ask in the office if there is any day care where you can volunteer and help out with the kids. You will learn a lot about how things work there...and you will be able to show your mom that you really do like kids.
If your school doesn't have the volunteer hours...then you can still volunteer! Go to your City Hall and ask someone about any volunteer programs they have.
Good luck!

well it depends on how old u r. if you r u under 14 then i would not let my child babysit unless they could prove it heres some tips on how to convince your mom--
* prove it 2 her by babysitting someone while she is at the house and she is just somewhere watching while you do the babysitting!
*tell her that you really love kids and you really need this (if u really do need this)
*tell her that u r old enough 2 buy things 4 yourself and tell her that if u babysat that it would be a benefit 4 her also because she would not have 2 buy everything 4 u.
- let me tell you that i have done the same exact things that i just told you 2 do, and they wokedafter i told her about thenm and begged 4 about 5 min. but idon't know how convincing ur mom is so i don' tknow how she would respond but i give u good luck!

Just explain to her why you really like doing it and tell her to give u a chance and if u mess up then u wont ask her again but if it does then she will trust u!!!
Your mom probably doesnt want you to do it because she is very over protective and u might be to young but see if the kid (s) you are babysitting can go to your house to make your mom realize that you can handle it

Like above said - how old are you?
Then look into a babysitting course at the Y or red cross and let your mom know she's in charge of saying WHO you can babysit for. Its kind of scarry from both ends.

babysit who?
show your mom your responsible in the home. Help her with the chores, cooking and taking care of them or your siblings if you have any. then after awhile, when she mentions that youre doing a great job, mention it. Until then, just keep up the responsiblitiy.

Now your newborn is a lot older and doubtless be in lots safer atmosphere... I additionally do not want to place any ideas on your head merely needed to particular my opinion.. I certainly have 10 month previous and that i'm continuously stressful to flow away my newborn with my mom and dad or my spouse's mom and dad, yet i know its incorrect, they are going to in no way do something to harm my son yet there is that this inner feeling that no another than us will preserve our toddler superb as we would... sometimes its good to enable those emotions go and have faith others, sometimes its difficult yet i'm attempting my superb to over come those emotions and emotions.

show her how responsible you are and help out around the house. also it might help if ask her if it would be okay to babysit while the mother is still there sorta like a "mommys helper" kind of thing until you get your mothers trust.
