What is the legal babysitting age in Canada?

Answer 1

The legal age to babysit in Canada is 12, but it can be earlier if you take specialized classes towards babysitting, where you can have the license to babysit at the age of ten at the youngest.

Answer 2

13 or 14 i think, most parents will only hire you if you know them well, or are 16 or older[advanced answering

"Age shouldn't always be the determining factor. Although the minimum age recommended by Family and Children's Services' for a babysitter is 12, not every 12 year old or teenager is mature enough to care for a baby or a child. Take the time to get to know the prospective babysitter and use your discretion to determine if they seem to have a strong sense of responsibility to care for your children. "
