From the state of Maryland law:
www.lawlib.state.MD.us/UnattendedChildren.HTML
Generally:
- A child under the age of 8 years and out of sight (in a dwelling, building, enclosure, or motor vehicle) of the person charged with his/her care must be left with a reliable person at least 13 years old. [FL 5-801(a)]
- Violation of this statute is a misdemeanor. An individual found in violation is subject to a fine not exceeding $500.00 or imprisonment not exceeding 30 days, or both. [FL 5-801(b)]
- There are also provisions of Maryland's CINA (children in need of assistance) and child abuse and neglect reporting statutes which address various aspects of leaving children unsupervised.[C&JP § 3-801] and [F.L. § 5-701].

∙ 16y agoThere isn't a 'legal' age. It's pretty much whatever the parents want. That if, of course, if you are just watching kids for a family you know. However, if you want to get a job at a child care place, then it depends on the place itself

You might hae to ask and check..

∙ 9y agoPennsylvania law does not have a minimum age requirement for babysitting. Discretion is up to the parents and maturity and responsibility levels should be taken into consideration.

∙ 15y agoWell, I'd say you need to be 9-10 to babysit family members 10-11 to babysit kids in your neighborhood 11-12+ to baby sit kids in the next town over.

How much money should you ask for babysitting?
Children should not watch children. If you have someone watch your children they should be paid the going rate for the job. Having responsibility for a child's care and welfare is a bigger job than most children are able to do. There is more to child care or babysitting than most people are aware of. Anything can happen at any given time and a child (if chosen to do this job) should be able to make adult choices about any given situation that may occur. If you have a child babysit, this child should be paid the going rate that any adult would make.

Why do babysitters get paid by the hour and child?
Many jobs (not just babysitters) get paid by the hour because the more hours you work, the most labour you have to use, and therefore the more you should be paid. Babysitters also get paid based on how many children they're caring for because babysitting many children requires more work, energy, and supervision than just babysitting one or two children.
What should you do when you are babysitting?
Have fun with the kid! Do things they like to do!
