Dont be! I was the same age when i was an aunt for the first time. And my sister is 16 years older then me.

And she wont NOT like you, she just wont be as comfy with you like she is with anyone else. She just dosent know you. Treat her like a little sister,get down to her level play games with her. Shes only a year old right now by the time shes 5 she will understand who you are. Again shes young she wont remeber that for a year or two that you werent around. If she were ever to ask you just explain that you were living else where at the time, and you were young you couldnt do much at that time compared to when your 20 and working.

As for money, find babysitting jobs. Thats how i started out. As i got more epxerince i landed nanny jobs that paid pretty well bc i had the experince with all ages including speical needs. And first aid + CPR is a bouns too ( Im from canada, so im not sure what babysitting rates are there, ask around)

I baby sat for a lady who was pretty much a single mom ( a dad was in the picture but worked away from home and was never around) two kids one 8/9 and the other one who was 12 ( leagl age in cnada to stay home by himself) I was in highschool when i watched them. I got paid 40/day/5/hr and that was 3-4 days a week after school. I stayed with them for 3 years till the mom sold their house and moved and didnt need me anymore.

When your 14/15 try applying at timmies or mcdonalds. Fast food is a great place to get your foot in the door for jobs.

Christmas is coming up moms are gonna wanna go shopping with out little ones. Even for date nights, not many couples get out once they have a kid. And finding care can be hard for some parents (single moms,dads). And they dont always wanna rely on grandparents to watch the kids and if they have no family to rely on.

And theres always skype, you can ask if you can skype with your sister and see your neice. ( im 22 with an 8yr old nephew and 5/6 month old neice)

Thats great you wanna get your neice something but shes 1, not much you can get but clothing or an odd toy. You can always send a christmas card with a family photo to your sister and neice. Like i said she wont remeber that when she was 1-3 yrs old you werent around and didnt get her anything.

I was 13 when I first became an aunt to twins! My sister is 11 years older than me and I now have four nieces and nephews and I'm 19! I babysat a lot when I was still in high school and I was always over at their house. Its actually been really rewarding helping teach them things and I think its really helped me mature as a young adult to be so closely involved with the raising of kids!

My late great mother was 16 years older than her sister. My mother got married when her sister was three and had a baby before her sister was six, so my aunt became an aunt when she was five years old. Then my mother, my brother (the baby) and my father moved to another country when my aunt was eight. What my aunt did being so young as an aunt and didn't have any money for gifts for her first nephew was to send a special letter to my brother in the mail with my grandparents' letters. I know now letters aren't in vogue any more but any young aunt or uncle could try post cards maybe. Specially made ones would be a nice touch or just make your own gifts.

I am a very proud aunt for 6 kids. I take so much joy in being an aunt
