I beleive it is 10 by theriselves and being able to watch their siblings, and 11 where they can watch other kids. :)
12yrs old is the youngest one can babysit and training is required. When it comes to children younger than that you will be leaving them alone. Depending on the children that may be OK depending on the situation, Ontario doesn't have a minimum age for leaving children alone because it is so hard to define. To be safe have your 12yr old attend a babysitting course. It will be educational and maybe even profitable as they could then babysit others.

There is currently not a law that specifies the age a child has to be to stay home alone overnight. It is left up to the parents to decide if their child is mature enough to handle it.
no they carnt because i said so Hi There :)
The legal age is 14 for Illinois.
You can leave responsible children alone for short periods of time, but not overnight. Children at the age of 12 can be left at home for short periods of time.
Children aged 12-13 can be left alone to babysit younger children but for no longer than 4 hours and for no more than 2 children.
12 it is 12
I'll Be Leaving Alone was created in 1977-05.
There is no legal age limit. There are only recommendations on the maturity of the child.
Some states have set a minimum age for which children can be left at home alone. Texas has not set a minimum age for leaving children at home, but it is best to consider the maturity and responsibility levels of an individual child before leaving them at home overnight.
