What is the minium salary for a 12-year-old girl to babysit or work in a creche?

Answer 1

In the UK, twelve years is considered too young to work in any field. Babysitters ought to be 16 years or over, and a crèche worker would have to be the same. Twelve year olds are too young to be part of the national minimum wage scheme which only covers 18yrs+ (check this though - could be 21+) therefore there couldn't be any guidelines available. Once you are 16, as babysitting is considered an informal arrangement, rates will vary widely. If you babysit for a family and not formally(which is the only real way a 12 yr old girl can babysit)

The minimum wage you can get is probably about $2 U.S. an hour.
