There is no age limit anywhere in the UK, but leaving a child "improperly cared for" is against the law. Really, it depends on what your parents think suitable! If you want to watch your sibling, ask if you can try doing it for a couple hours to see if you like it. Good luck!
Children aged 12-13 can be left alone to babysit younger children but for no longer than 4 hours and for no more than 2 children.
there is no law limiting the hours of babysitting
What is the legal age for babysitting?There is no law that says what age you must be before you can babysit. The parents decide the age they want their kids to babysit and the person that wants them to babysit. Don't let anyone tell you that you need to have a babysitter's license because there is no such thing. Only a couple of states have set laws regarding this. Typically a 12 or 13 year old will be okay for a younger sibling. The parents think about...1. Age and Maturity2. Your Experience as a Babysitter3. The Age and Number of their children4. How long will you be babysitting{A few hours, one evening, overnight}5. Whether you can handle any special needs of the children.
Mostley 3-4 hours x
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.
There are no laws related to this. However, there are laws about keeping children safe. Siblings are a challenge, because they don't always listen to their older brother or sister. A 14 or 15 year old should be able to look after a young child for a few hours without a problem.
The MN Human Services Dept states a child should be of 11 ages or older to care for younger children. It is a reccomendation I believe but is a good guideline I think.
