In Maryland, there are no specific laws regarding the minimum age for a babysitter, but it is generally recommended that children be at least 13 years old to babysit younger siblings. An 11-year-old may be capable of looking after a 6-year-old for short periods, depending on their maturity and the circumstances. Parents should consider the responsibilities involved and ensure that the older child feels comfortable and confident in handling any situations that may arise. Ultimately, it's important for parents to make a judgment based on their children's abilities and the specific context.
i would considering that I'm 11 and i have a 3 year old sibling and i babysit him/her.
For a 16 year old to babysit a 13 year old sibling overnight?
Yeah.
13+ to babysit in md 12 in most other states but you can be home alone for brief periods of time between 8 and 12, if the child left at home is under 8 you need a 13+ year old to be present. hope it helped :)
yes
No. Nine years old is too young to babysit.
No. Depends on the state, but generally the min age is 15 to babysit.
This answer is all up to the parents. If the partent feels that their child is responsible, then that parent can let them. There is no law stating that a child can babysit another child.
It is against Florida state law for an 11 year old to be left home alone with a sibling. A child must be 12 before they can stay home alone and 15 before the are permitted to babysit.
What is the state law requirement to babysit a 3 years old. How old can the babysitter be and do you have to have a babysitting license.?
There is none as long as the person your babysitting for trust you then it is ok. Some kid i know started babysitting at 9 he was in charge of a 1 year old!
Not a good idea. A 13 year old is not considered old enough to be responsible. Most places say a 12 or 13 year old can babysit for a few hours during the day, but certainly not for several days by themselves.
