Big Brothers/Sisters is a serious time commitment. It's not like being a baby sitter at all.
I haven't done it myself, but I looked into briefly but i just didn't have the time it took to do it.
You're supposed to spend a required # of hours with your child every week, and they ask you to make a minimum commitment of 6 months.
They also do drug tests and serious background checks (not saying that you are an addict or criminal...just that they do these). The biggest thing is time. If you're not sure you have the time it's best not to waste your time or the organizations time if you're going to quite in a few weeks, or bail on your kid.
