She probably doesn’t want to take money. That’s why a gift is perfect.

I just want to let you know how thoughtful this is!
When I was a teen, I was always expected to babysit for my aunts. Literally as 'payback' time for when they babysat me as a kid.
I was always so resentful. I never got paid or gifted.
Once, one aunt gave me an ice pop before leaving. I was 16. I was mortified
Maybe get her a giftcard to an accessory shop, so she can choose what she wants (jewelry/crossbody)

I try to pay my nieces, but my sils won't let. In fact I use them much less than I would even though they seem happy to babysit since I feel uncomfortable that I can't pay

Either way, you can always gift instead of pay in cash, to show appreciation

I try to do experiences. When I had maternity leave I took them+ friends to American dream on their day off. So it was the money but also that they didn’t have someone else to take them. Same with Rachel’s place play, I bought tickets and took them one year. We bh have such a nice relationship.
I try to keep rough track and buy them things I know they want/ need like camp time - it’s still less than I would pay a sitter but it’s definitely stuff I wouldn’t randomly buy a niece.

Lots of girls have cashapp. Pay them!!!
I didn’t pay my sisters for babysitting for me 15/20 years ago, but I probably should have.
My daughters always get paid when they babysit for my siblings. And generously.
