I would say around 13/14 although it depends on who you are babysitting.

Thirteen is a good age to start babysitting, but you should start babysitting people you know, like a little cousin or something, and you should have one of the parents still there, and the other gone. so that they can see that you are going to be responsible with their children. That is what i did when i was 13. and it worked out well. After you do that for about a year by the time you are 14 you should be a babysitting expert:))
I believe you should at least be 13 years of age or older to babysit. If I were a mom I wouldn't leave my kids alone with you if you where younger than 13.
You would want to see the laws of your state. Each state differs in the age they decide.

There really isn't a specific age. It's up to the parents to make sure the babysitter is a responsible individual.

Normally, the youngest age is 12, but even that can be too young.
