Most Recent Answer:Yes, a 15 year old is able to babysit a child. There are typically no age requirements in order to babysit a child except in a few cases like Maryland, USA where you must be 13. As long as you are able to be mature and show it then it isn't a problem.Answer Two:Under the age of 18, to my knowledge, you are by law not allowed to be unsupervised period... so by law no. However alot of young teenagers are mature and responsible enough to babysit..
