How old does a child need to be to baby-sit another child?

Question

I want to baby-sit to earn money.

Answer 1

Check your local YMCA because they have babysitting classes. But generally I would say 11 or 12, depending on how mature you are.

Answer 2

Don't worry about the babysitting classes and all that jazz. There are babysitters out there that are better than the ones who have taken classes. I'd say you should probably be 12 years old if you are babysitting kids 3 and up. If you are babysitting a baby a few months to 2 then maybe you should be a little older. If you already are good with little babies (like changing their diaper, bottle feeding, getting them to go to sleep) then you could start that at 12 as well. But generally 12 is a good age because you are in or about in junior high.

Answer 4

Well I know that they have babysitting classes and they start at age 11. But I wouldn't let anyone babysitt my child under the age of 14... Possibly 13!

Answer 5

around 12 or 13

Answer 6

If it is for relatives, I'd say 13, but for other people 16 just because you should be able to drive yourself around. You shouldn't rely on your parents for rides to babysit. I mean if you have to babysit later or what not you don't want to have to sit around waiting for your ride to pick you up.

Answer 7

12 Or 13 when ever you can take the babysitting course and get your certificate; That's about the right age ;)

Answer 8

atleast 13

Answer 9

about 14, depends on how responsible and mature you are
