Can a 12 year old to babysit a 6 year old?

Answer 1

Yes, in some places. Other states have laws making the minimum age for a non-family sitter to be 13, 14 or 15. Generally a 12 year old does not have the life experience to make good choices when problems occur.

Actually charging someone with 'illegally' placing their child with a 12 year old -- forget it. Won't happen.

But if the 12 year old decides to go play a video game for 9 hours or leaves to play Basketball she can't really be held responsible at that age. The risk is very big when a child is left with another child.

Answer 2

yes they are allowed but not like to random ppl only to people you know you cant be sending fliers out like oo im a babysitter and on the fliers they can grab you number also i wouldn't think people would want tht cuz you cant drive i think you should wait:)

Answer 3

Yes, if the 12 year old is mature enough and if the 6 year old is not out of order.

Answer 4

There should not be an legal problems with it. Only a couple of states have set minimum age guidelines and even those are at 12 or 13 years old.

Answer 5

Yes you can
