Yes, you are too young. I would never leave my small children alone with someone your age for very long. Your best bet is to get work as a mother's helper while the mom is at home but busy with other stuff and you would entertain the children for her.

Baby dolls don't cry, don't need to be fed, don't need to be changed. When you're done playing you put them on a shelf and forget about them until you want to play again. Real babies are very different.

The fact that you think playing with dolls has given you the skills to babysit living children shows that you're not ready to babysit.
