Nah, if you don't have kids your statements about anything to do with them really don't hold much value.
It doesn't matter if you've babysat your nephew or volunteered in a nursery or even worked full time at a day care. You still, at some point, get to pass that kid off and forget about it. You never get that as a parent. Even if you have someone watching them, they're still on your mind. It's a war of attrition, 24/7, every day. It is inevitable that you'll have a lapse of concentration or a "brain fart" at some point, and your kid will do something stupid. It's not negligent, it's called being a human.
