What is the legal age to babysit in New Jersey?

Answer 1

What is the legal age for babysitting?There is no law that says what age you must be before you can babysit. The parents decide the age they want their kids to babysit and the person that wants them to babysit. Don't let anyone tell you that you need to have a babysitter's license because there is no such thing. Only a couple of states have set laws regarding this. Typically a 12 or 13 year old will be okay for a younger sibling. The parents think about...1. Age and Maturity2. Your Experience as a Babysitter3. The Age and Number of their children4. How long will you be babysitting{A few hours, one evening, overnight}5. Whether you can handle any special needs of the children.

Answer 2

Well, there is no specified age to babysit. The parents are looking for high maturaty levels, experience(certification in babysitting, first aid, cpr, etc.), and tipically someone who knows alot about babysitting and safety, and just loves kids!
