How old can you be to stay home alone in Nevada?

Answer 1

There are very few states in the U.S. with legal minimum ages, but many state agencies have published guidelines (Georgia, Illinois, Maryland and Oregon are a few of the states with very specific ages). Typically 8 year olds and over can be left at home for up to several hours (usually after school before a parent gets home from work).

12 years old appears to be the most common recommendation. http://www.latchkey-kids.com/latchkey-kids-age-limits.htm provides a state by state comparison.

Answer 2

There isn't a legal age, but you better be sure the child can take care of the 6-year-old and keep them safe. Most authorities would say that the other child should be at least 13 and that it should be during daylight hours.

Answer 3

Nevada does not have a specific law regarding the age a child can be left home alone. The National SAFE KIDS campaign recommends that children not be left alone before the age of 12, however, some children may not be ready until later than that.
