There is no law regarding this. However, the child must feel safe, be safe and know how to get help if needed. In most cases, a 12 or 13 year old could watch a sibling a few years younger for a couple of hours during the day. But siblings are never effective in watching each other, as rivelry will often cause problems.

Technically, the parent is responsible for their child's education. However, many homeschool parents find it beneficial for an older sibling to teach a certain topic or subject to a younger sibling. In most places there is nothing illegal about this, so long as the parent ensures that the child is learning what they should learn it doesn't matter who teaches it to them.
