I suspect your anxiety over it might actually make it worse. If you're worried that a mistake will get you fired, then it's harder to focus. Don't lose confidence, even if you might have to ask someone to check your work once in a while. The only really "bad" thing you can do is try to cover up your mistakes instead of get them fixed. There is no reason to feel embarrassed because everyone makes mistakes, even stupid ones.
