Honestly they should be at least 12 by my standards, but if they are mature enough to take care of kids then you should see if someone would hire them first before you take babysitting off the table. There is a legal age but it depends where you live, check with your local services for more information.

How long can a 12 year old Babysit?

I think that this all depends on maturity. If you are twelve, you should be able to look after at least 3 children but you should never babysit more than 5 kids unless you are old enough to. Then again, if the family trusts you with 5 kids because they know you are practical, responsible and caring, you should be okay. Be sure to check with your arents before you babysit anyone, though!!

10 years is very young to babysit. If it is for a short time, or for your own siblings, it is old enough. Otherwise, most parents would be comfortable with a babysitter 12 or older.


Can a 11 year old boy babysit?

It depends on the laws where you live. In some states, eleven year old kids can babysit. It also depends on the family you want to babysit for. It also matters whether or not the boy is able to handle the responsibility.
