I think if you have no other job experience, you should. I baby sat my siblings all the time. So when I applied for a job at 16, I put it down under previous work history. I put my parents name as employer. When they interviewed me they asked the typical previous employment questions. What were my duties while baby sitting. What I liked most about baby sitting.

no, babysitting shoudnt really count at all, some peopl might count it but i looked after my brother all the time when we were younger and i never thought of it as a job, its something you should do anyway without getting paid

No. Baby sitting doesn't count at all on your resume. Its considered a good deed. You have to work with a legal company. That the goverment knows about such as a fast food place or retail store.
