The law relating to babysitting is quite complex too, for England and Wales. The 1933 Children and Young Persons Act states that a person can be prosecuted if they neglect a child in their 'custody, charge or care'. However, if you are under 16 and something goes wrong while you are babysitting the child's parents may be charged with neglect
According to Scottish Law it is not illegal to leave a child of any age home alone but if anything happens to the babysitter if under 16 while in your home, then you are legally responsible for that child as well as your own child or children.

∙ 13y agoYes, you can babysit in England at the age of 12 years old. Since there is no actual employer there is no law prohibiting you from being hired. However, certain jobs do require certain age in England and you should consult with a government official or your parents before applying for them.

Not a good idea. A 13 year old is not considered old enough to be responsible. Most places say a 12 or 13 year old can babysit for a few hours during the day, but certainly not for several days by themselves.

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.
