The legal age to babysit in Canada is 12, but it can be earlier if you take specialized classes towards babysitting, where you can have the license to babysit at the age of ten at the youngest.
"Age shouldn't always be the determining factor. Although the minimum age recommended by Family and Children's Services' for a babysitter is 12, not every 12 year old or teenager is mature enough to care for a baby or a child. Take the time to get to know the prospective babysitter and use your discretion to determine if they seem to have a strong sense of responsibility to care for your children. "

It really depends on how responsible you are and how you can handle kids
I think that a 14 year old person would be good enough, but I'm not sure about the legal age.
You must be 13 years and older.

the legal age of babysitting in Canada is 11!
since the legal age in Michigan to stay home alone is 12, i believe that the legal age for babysitting is also 12.
There is no set legal age for babysitting in the state of Louisiana. However most states do set a legal age for babysitting.
No there is no legal age for baby sitting
16 is the minimum working age. There is no legal minimum age for babysitting. (The babysitter's level of maturity and competence are the mainattributes a parent should consider)
if you take a course, any age or it depends on the person you are babysitting
A child must be 12-13 years of age to participate in a babysitting course in Indiana, but there is no set legal age to actually babysit.Hope this helps!- Keener Demeanor -
there is not a legal age for babysitting it is up to the parents and what the feel comfortable with
recommends that no one under 16
twleve or older you just have to be mature
Although there is not a legal age I do recommend 11 or 12. Depends on maturity. 10 and under is a big no-no. Take a course first
