A baby sitting must be 13 , mature, trained, and responsible
In most cases, a sibling can pick up a child from school if they are at least 18 years old.
11 or 12 the younger the child the older the sitter!!
There is no law, it is common myth.
If an older child is raising their younger sibling on a fairly constant basis it robs the older child of their private lives with friends and doing things that they should be doing in order to look back on life full of memories of their childhood. Often the older child may come resentful if they are looked upon as a constant babysitter. If the parents are not around and the older sibling is under the age of 18 (no longer a minor) then relatives should be brought in to help look after both of them.
it really depends on how mature the child is if they can look after the baby and if they can make the right choices
no
Let say that the age of the older sibling is x, then the age of the younger child is (1/3)x or x/3. So we have,x/3 + x = 16 multiply both sides by 3x + 3x = 484x = 48 divide by 4 to both sidesx = 12 the age of the olderx/3 = 12/3 = 4 the age of the younger.Thus, the younger child is 4 years old.
A minor child has to be 13 years old to stay home alone or watch other minor children in the state of Maryland. This is one of the few states that has a dedicated age law.
I am not positve if a sibling can watch over another sibling when a parent is away. But I Know for a fact that if one of siblings is at least 12 the child stay home by themselves. So if one of the siblings is at least 12 i think tht sibling can watch over the other sibling while a parent is away.
16
In British Columbia, there is no specific legal age at which a sibling can babysit, but it is generally recommended that children be at least 12 years old to take on this responsibility. Parents should consider the maturity level of the older sibling, the age and needs of the younger child, and the duration of the babysitting. Ultimately, it is up to the parents to decide what is appropriate for their family.
I'm not 100 % positive about this but I'm pretty sure, 95% sure there is no "legal age" to be a babysitter. One thing to keep in mind though is if you leave your child somewhere and something happens you can be charged with child endangerment. One reason there's no age to which a child can be left alone, except for the obvious is because some 12 year olds will be more mature than some 15 year olds, and vice versa.
