As a person who watched 3 siblings all day at age 11--it was not fair to expect a child to police a number of siblings since they are not able to make the other children do as they should, which may impair their safety. Consider finding another resource if the children would be left alone more than a couple of hours daily.
well it says that there is not an age that a child can start to babysit in NJ. that means that there is not an age present
A child must be at least 8 years old to stay home alone in Georgia. At this age and in this state, they can babysit siblings as well.
i bet its 12. i am 12 and all of my friends babysit or have been babysitting. everybody i offer to babysit thinks i am too young, even close family members and neighbors I've known for years think so. i really need the money!!!! what i should do?
A child must be at least 12 years old to stay home alone in Delaware. At this age, they can also babysit other children and siblings.
13+ to babysit in md 12 in most other states but you can be home alone for brief periods of time between 8 and 12, if the child left at home is under 8 you need a 13+ year old to be present. hope it helped :)
16 [no source cited]
age 14
Well, they should be at least 10, but there is not any law about it
In Louisiana, a parent is legally responsible for a child until the age of majority, which is 18 years old. However, parental responsibility can extend beyond this age if the child has special needs or disabilities that warrant continued support.
Legally, you are not related. You only adopted one child, the fact that there are siblings does not mean you have any relationship to them.

I think it should be at least 18+, they have to be responsible but i've seen about 16 year olds do it too.
Legally no !... It is illegal for anyone under the age of 16 to look after another child.
