hey fourteen year olds are legally able to babysit siblings. You can babysit for friends and family if they so wish, but if they would rather get an older babysitter, it is perfectly understandable. People might think your not qualified and responsible enough for this job. Wait until your 16, then you can babysit any one Not all states have laws requiring a person to be of a specifc age to be employed in such occupations as babysitting. Many teens of your age are quite mature and responsible and do very well at any number of things. Researching the need for various services in your community will help you find what you would like to do, including private childcare.

∙ 14y ago* Yes. In fact, that is the legal age of being allowed to be left alone in a house so if you are responsible, then you are a perfect candidate for babysitting. * See http://www.nccic.org/poptopics/homealone.html

∙ 12y agoMaybe. It depends on how responsible the 13 year old is and how old the children are that they will watch. Do they know what to do if there is a problem? What do they do if a child gets hurt? These are questions that are needed to know the answers to before they babysit.

∙ 11y agodepends if it's 14 year old boy and a 12 year old girl big no no
also depends on the 14 year olds personality if he's rough and easily wound up you have one bruised 12 year old
but if you hav a soppy 14 year old there is gonna be anarchy
^^ Honestly, in my opinion a 12 year old should not have to be babysat. Unless, the parent is going to be gone for a long time of period, or the 12 year old is not mature enough, or has any type of disorder.
I don't think the 14 year old will babysit if anything them 2 will go do something together, 14 and 12 are close numbers if the person was 16 taking care of a 9 year old then thats different there just kids

∙ 12y agoIthink 11 year olds are enough to babysit if they have had experience with siblings. They should also be mature and only take a maximum of 4 kids at a time and the kids should not be under 2 years old.

∙ 11y agoWhy not if the parents allow it

Can an 18-year-old babysit children overnight?
Yes! I'm 16 and I babysit 5 kids overnight every single weekend. I was babysitting at 14 overnight. It depends on how mature the person is that is doing the babysitting. You can always make a couple of calls (good idea) just to see that everything is OK and leave the phone number where you can be reached. The age to babysit is not legislated, but as stated above, maturity is key.
