There is no such thing as a "legal" age in California or any other US State for anyone to babysit their own siblings. The issue, potentially, is one of child abandonment, if the babysitter is not mature enough to handle the situation (e.g., any minor babysitting a baby) and the parent is far away for more than a few minutes. Conversely, an elderly person who can hardly stand on his/her own is, likewise, a poor babysitter. The generally accepted age to babysit is 12, but it depends on the maturity of the child, and the ages and number of children under his/her charge.
