I started babysitting a 6 month old baby when I was 13, but I was under supervision for the first 3 months. Then six months later I was watching two infants at a time every now and then because the mother of the baby I was watching told other parents how good I was watching her baby.
So, a 13 year old can babysit, but I suggest starting off with babysitting one child at a time with supervision until an adult feels comfortable leaving the 13 year old unsupervised. They must be disciplined, responsible, and mature enough to be able to care for another child especially infants and toddlers.
Depending on how responsible the 13 year old is, yes. A 13 year old can make their chances better for babysitting if they take a safety class a first aid class and any other classes that may help convince parents that the 13 year old is responsible enough to babysit.
That would depend on where you want to babysit and what age the child to be babysat was. I wouldn't want a 13 year-old looking after a baby, but would be happy with a responsible 13 year-old looking after a child of say 6 or 7. However there may be different laws in different countries about whether people are "allowed" to do babysitting, so you should ask your question again, but this time say where you live.
No.
You have to be 13 or older to Babysit
can i babysit your kids if i am 12 year old because i have my license to babysit from the red cross so can i babysit your kids? breanna, any info write me on myspace my email is cuteangel55@yahoo.com thank you.
Babysit
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.
I believe if you are responsible you should be able to babysit at 13. You can babysit as long as you want as long if you allow yourself to go to school...You need your education!:):P
13
the age to be home alone and babysit is around 13
That 13 yar old is too young to babysit.
Um, well by law, your not to babysit other children until your 13 but at 12 you can babysit your sibiling.
13
If its just you, you can babysit up to four kids, if there is someone helping you, you can babysit up to 8.
You can babysit for a Mum's friend or someone like that at 13.
