Either you entered the age wrong [did you mean 13?] or you are kidding. It would be madness to give a 3 year old responsibility over another person, for any length of time.

As a professional nanny/ babysitter, I would say that it is not a good idea at all to have an eleven year old watch three kids! Three kids are a handful for even the most experienced parents/ sitters. If the children are close to 11 in age, such as 9 or ten, leaving them alone together isn't that bad. But for anything younger, absolutely NOT a good idea!!!

A thirteen year old CAN babysit. The question is can they babysit well. The answer can vary from thirteen year old, some are responsible, some are as irresponsible as the child who needs babysitting. They need to have a talk with an adult first to make sure they are ready. I was babysitting when I was ten, but then again, I was a very mature child.

No. Nine years old is too young to babysit.

In most cases an 8 year old is not legally allowed to babysit. However, if you are babysitting a sibling or close relative, that it up to your parents.

There are no age requirements for babysitters. It is the responsibility of the parents to choose the most trustworthy, and responsible individual.

Can your 13 year old watch your 9 year old?

In Canada I don't think that there is really a legal age to babysit. It is up to the parents. I know many 13 year old people that babysit 9 year old children and it has turned out fine. But it also depends on the child who is babysitting. If the parents feel that he or she is responsible enough, there should be no problem with them babysitting a 9 year old.

It depends on how long, and how responsible the 9 year old is. Some 9 year olds I know could handle it for a couple hours, but I also know some that i wouldn't dare leave a little kid with.
