if you take a course, any age or it depends on the person you are babysitting
I think a great age to start babysitting is 12.
A child must be at least 11 years old to stay home alone in Michigan. They can also babysit other children and siblings at this age.
the age to be home alone and babysit is around 13
1-8 is not aloud to babysit in canada
12
12+
The legal age someone can babysit in new zealand is 14 but at home alone for under half an hour a 13 year old can babysit
Adults think that every state has their own law on the legal age to babysit and the legal age to stay home alone. There is NO legal age. It depends on their maturity level, experience, and whether or not they're certified. That is why a 7 year old cannot stay home alone or babysit, they are NOT ' too young '. They are simply not mature enough and will not handle an emergency the correct way. Most parents trust babysitters who are ages 13+. I think 13 is a good age to start babysitting. 12 is a good age to start staying home alone.
age 14
There is actually a law that states a child is not to be left home alone below the age of 16 in Nebraska. Therefore the legal age would be 16 years old in order to babysit.
12
It really depends on where you live
You must be 14 years old to babysit a child in New Zealand.
