The youngest age I know of is 12. A child has to be 12 or older to participate in the babysitting courses offered through the YMCA. However, there is no set legal age in Indiana. It is determined on a case-by-case basis, as some children are very mature at 12, while others are not mature enough to be trusted alone at 15.

I called the state police and they indicated there are no specific laws detailing age requirements, but it is the maturity of the babysitter that matters. There are safesitter programs that can properly train potential babysitters and it would be worthwhile to look for someone that had shown the responsibility to get properly trained.
