Unable to run Nodemon with babel - node.js

Question

After running npm run dev, I get the following errors:
> sistema#1.0.0 dev
> nodemon index.js --exec babel-node
[nodemon] 1.18.9
[nodemon] to restart at any time, enter `rs`

[nodemon] app crashed - waiting for file changes before starting...
I have tried all the possible solutions:
Adding type module in the package.json file.
Updating babel
Using npx
This is my package.json file:
{
"name": "sistema",
"version": "1.0.0",
"description": "",
"main": "index.js",
"scripts": {
"start": "node index.js",
"dev": "nodemon index.js --exec babel-node"
},
"keywords": [],
"author": "",
"license": "ISC",
"dependencies": {
"babel-cli": "^6.26.0",
"babel-preset-env": "^1.7.0",
"babel-preset-stage-3": "^6.24.1",
"bcryptjs": "^2.4.3",
"cors": "^2.8.5",
"express": "^4.16.4",
"express-promise-router": "^3.0.3",
"jsonwebtoken": "^8.5.0",
"mongoose": "^5.4.10",
"morgan": "^1.9.1"
},
"devDependencies": {
"nodemon": "^1.18.9"
}
}
And this is my .babelrc file:
{
"presets": [
//"env" ,
//"stage-3"
]
}
Is someone able to provide me some help or suggestions?
Thank you,

I solved this issue by installing babel with npm install babel-cli babel-core --save-dev
