In most cases you have to be at least the age of 12 in order to babysit someone. However if you live in Maryland, USA you will need to be at least 13 years old to babysit someone. As I said, there are generally no legal age requirements as long as you as mature and know how to look after a child. As a preteen, it is better to babysit somewhat close to home, with the agreement of your mother. That way, an adult can step in if the situation changes from playtime.

Technically you should not be baby sitting if you are under the age of 13. Some people may say that it is 14 years of age. The thing is the parents decide if you are responsible enough. And if they say your are aloud to baby sit the child are children then try your best not everyone is perfect.

If it were up to me I would say that the legal is or should be 13. But nore I or you are the law. I would say that if you, your parents and the other parents think you are responsible then you can baby sit at 13. Heck I started at 10 or 11. It's not that bad just be responsible like the other baby sitters who are good. Just try your best as who you are not who you are not.Yours Truley,

Will a 13 year old babysit a 8 year old?

Well, yes. They are five years apart and just so long as the 13-year-old is responsible, there's no reason they can't babysit an 8-year-old. It does depend on the parents, the kid, and the babysitter though. Each case is different. There is no way that makes sense!
