Childcare and Babysitting

From Utah's Division of Child and Family Services (DCFS) website with FAQs http://dcfs.utah.gov/faq.asp : At what age can I leave my children at home by themselves? There is no minimum age that a child can be unsupervised. Child and Family Services uses the following definition to evaluate each situation: NON-SUPERVISION. The child is subjected to accidental harm or probability of accidental harm due to failure of a parent/caregiver to supervise the child's activities at a level consistent with the child's age and maturity. At what age can my child provide child care or perform other work? Consult the Utah Code Annotated for applicable child labor laws at http://le.utah.gov/~code/TITLE34/34_23.htm. Section 34-23-205 states that a when child is age 12, they may babysit. Other sections address different ages and what is allowable.

i dont think 13 year olds can be babysitters if you know the person then yes you can

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.

17 thatz a lie she look 50 thats a lie to that thing is from 200,000,000 b.c. she is just that ugly

i think its 16 there but where i live its any age but u need a good education

No, you do not have to have daycare license to care for five kids in your home.My aunt used to have license to watch kids in her home,she had to have 6 kids for that.She also lived in Cobb County line,which is here in Ga.Shes retired.Hope this helps you out some.I do know all states and counties,cities maybe different.Have a good Day! just43 Actually if I just talked to the Child Care Office in Pa today and if you have four or more children that are not related to you in your home you need to be registered with the state.

What I do is let him watch tv for a little ask him what he wants to eat make it then make him go to sleep

There isn't a 'legal' age. It's pretty much whatever the parents want. That if, of course, if you are just watching kids for a family you know. However, if you want to get a job at a child care place, then it depends on the place itself

No. Not only is that too many children for a 11 year old to watch, but he/she is not old enough and should be at least 15 to legally babysit.

No. That is pushing it. An eleven year old is not old enough to be trusted to take care of a one year old for more than a few minutes.

Check the laws in your state but in my state it absolutely DOES NOT say that you have to be 15 to legally babysit. I think an 11 year old is too young to watch a one year old, although I did it when I was young. The parents have to make that decision, but please keep in mind that adults struggle handling that many children at once. Imagine the stress level you would be putting the child into by giving them so much responsibility. I would recommend not having the 11 year old watch even the four and five year olds at the same time. I also recommend first putting the child through a babysitting course and CPR.

18 when you become an adult.

Those persons who are at least sixteen but under eighteen must have the permission of the parents or legal guardian. Anyone who is fifteen must have the permission of the parents or legal guardian and also the court. Anyone under the age of fifteen is not allowed to marry in the state of Michigan.

There is no law in Wisconsin regarding the legal age to babysit. When a state has no law or recommendation, a person could wind up with a Child endangerment charge if something happens to the children.

I research the this on the web and this is what I came across, "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." I don't know if that really answers the question, but it helped me to make up my mind when it comes to hiring a babysitter.

I think they can. I mean, just make sure the kids aren't older than 10. :)

Don't ask for too much money. Maybe a 2 bucks an hour per kid. (Like if they had two kids, you would get 4 bucks an hour.) And be sure your on time. Be sure to act mature, like ask for their number if any emergancies happen. Be sure you know about any allergies too.

1.Generally, It actually depends if you and your spouse are both from one child families then you are allowed to have 2. If you are from the country and have a girl first; you are able to try for a boy-so 2 max. Also, if you have a special needs child first, you are able to try again for a typically-developing child. Some people have more than one child without the above exceptions-they pay for them. There is a fine for every extra child that ranges from as little as 6000 RMB to 300 000 RMB depending on where you live.

The answer is that if we as humans do not express our thoughts and feelings then there is no need for our existence. We need to express our problems, our happiness, anything. You do not always have to talk to express this. You can provide signs write a book or anything that will make you express yourself.

The holistic approach to childcare seeks to focus on five aspects that address all of the child's needs. These include the spiritual, emotional, intellectual, physical and relational aspects of the child's life. It focuses on overall development of the child.

The noises that babies make are them trying to respond and copy what we are saying. They are trying to talk, but their voice boxes are not developed enough to do so

Depends on the length of time the 15 year old is watching the children. There is no set legal age to 'babysit', however most YMCA or Red Cross Babysitting courses target 11 to 15 year olds.

Maturity plays a BIG role in watching children, so I'll assume the 15 year old is and knows basic first aid and life saving skills, with the younger siblings knowing how to call 911 when given direction to do so. Just to be on the safe side, I would recommend the 15 year old taking the course and any of the other siblings ages 11 and up taking the same course together.

Finally, three youngsters can be a handful for any adult let along a teenager, and it isn't just watching them that is important. Have a plan in place for disciplining, as in time outs or a "cooling off corner" should things become overwhelming to any of the four children involved. Planning activities for the four to do keeps children occupied until a grown up can resume time with the children.

There is no set legal age for babysitting in the state of Louisiana. However most states do set a legal age for babysitting.

In the state of Utah ou are permitted to care fo only four children without a license.

first,you wanna make sure its busy, get a few toys and a quilt- like blanket, lay the blanket down and put all toys aroung the baby , stay away from hard toys, stay with stuffed animals,plushies and little cushiony things. make sure you can see the baby , never answer the door , if your not expecting someone,if baby is hungry make some formula for it , or bust out some baby food, dont let it get little inedible things.it can choke , if you're baby is choking on a drink, pat it on the back gently or put its hands up over its head,remember , keep it occupied! put in a baby swing if you need to go do something, it should be fine,and before you know it , itd parents will be home!
