There is no age requirement for babysitters anywhere in the USA except for Maryland, where you must be at least thirteen years of age to babysit. (There is no age requirement at all in Canada.) However, this being said, it is good for you as a babysitter to be trained by the Red Cross in babysitting, where they teach you basic first aid and safety. The 'right' age to babysit varies from child to child though. If you are a mature, and responsible person, being younger is generally O.K. with parents (I got my first babysitting job at eleven), but if you are not as much so, you might want to wait until fourteen or so.

Hope this helps!

Is it okay for a 12-year-old boy to give a 12-year-old girl a back massage?

I babysit my friend's 12-year-old son and 12-year-old daughter. Every time I come and don't come to babysit he massages her back. He massages her at the McCall hotel that has free breakfast. Also he does it at IHop and other restaurants just to make other people confused. I don't know why he does that to her everyday I babysit and don't babysit. And it's strange, but that's okay. The next time I come to babysit them, I'll just ignore it from now on. And the next time even though I don't even babysit, I will stop thinking opabout it for now.
