well the best way to find out that answer is call local law enforcement. i can tell you i am from Florida and i asked an officer floridas laws and was told that a child that is responsible can babysit over the age of 9. i had a 12 yr old that babysat a 9 and 2 yr old. glgl
Answer to the QuestionYes, it is legal. However, it is probably not a good idea. Most place believe that a teenager (13) can handle one child for short periods of time. A toddler is usually more trouble and throw a 9 year old into the mix and I wouldn't recommend it.

It is really up to the parents, but the legal age is 13 to babysit in England. They need to be responsible and trustworthy. You cannot babysit someone elses child at the age of 10. I am 13 (14 in a few weeks) and I babysit for people that I know. Not sure about the USA. Hope this helps!
