'Excuse me - any chance of babysitting?' (2,3,4)

I believe the answer is:

do you mind

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'excuse me any chance of babysitting?' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'excuse me any chance of' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'me' could be 'mi' (both are spellings of the musical note) and 'mi' is located in the answer.
'of' could be 'o' and 'o' is located in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for do you mind that I've seen before include "Annoyed interjection" , "Please stop" , "A question of concern" , "said to show one's annoyed" , "I beg your pardon!" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
