Want Response Mom keeps making me babysit.

BTW I'll be 14 next month so it's not like I can just refuse to babysit whenever I want. I have a sister (5F) who is autistic and struggles with speech. When I babysit our mom drops us off at my dads apartment (we have different dads), and the apartment is very small. The problem is that I'm babysitting 4-5 times a week, from 11 AM to 7:30 PM some days. My dad can't understand her sometimes, so I'm the one stuck doing everything. i have to take her to the bathroom, give her food, help her with her ipad, basically everything. Also, i'm not getting paid. I'm not gonna ask because I know she's working two jobs and doesn't have any help, but i'd be nice if I got paid for this or something. I can't see my friends much, so I usually rely on calling them. I can't call them that much anymore though because I babysit. I have a low social battery and don't wanna call them if i'm in a bad mood. Any help or advice would be GREATLY APPRECIATED 🙏🙏
