youngest?
What the youngest baby do you think that you would put a 14 year old in charge of? And do you really think that at 14 they are responsible?

Maybe give some free advice about: Babysitting?
Well, seeing as my sister is 13, and she babysits 1 yr olds, I think it depends on how responsible them seem. If they dont seem responsible, dont leave them with responsibilities

probly aftr the bay is about 3 months old a 14 year old can take care of him. and it depends on the 14 year old if theyre responsible anough to take care of him

the youngest baby a 14 should babysit is 7 months they r old nd responsible enough.

It depends on the person, not the age, to decide how much you can trust them. I'm 14 and I babysit regularly. I consider myself very responsible. I have babysat kids anywhere from 1.5 years to 7 years old. If they have never taken care of babies just have them come over the day before and teach them how to change a diaper, heat up a bottle, etc. I'm sure that he/she would be happy to learn. If you feel like you cannot trust him/her then don't. It is your child. Go with your gut feeling.

I'm 14 and I've taken care of 2 week old infants before.
I guess it depends on the 14 year old. I see myself as very mature and responsible enough to take care of an infant, but that isnt the same w/ everybody.

Well, the youngest probably 6-7 months, but only if there either isnt any other kids or the other kids are older, and can kinda fend for themselves. other wise if there's more then 1 small child to take care of ... id sat @ least 12 mths. I think 14 year olds are responsible ... but i guess it all depends on the person, and what u think.

um it doesnt matter wut ever think ur ready for.. im not sure if im ready for babies but like maybe 3 or so good luck! <3

It depends on you if they think that you are responsible..when i was 14, I wou ld babysitt a 11 month old. And i babysitted her for like 4-5 hours. If she hasnt shown you a reason that she/he isnt responsible thenit is up to you to see how old of a baby they can sit for. But what i think is that it depends on how much they have been irresponsible

it's all up to how the 14 yr. old behaves and how well they work with kids!

Ive taken many many child care classes. At the age of 14, I would say the youngest, maybe 6. I wouldnt put them in charge of an infant or toddler. They might not know how to handle the crying or changing or keeping the toddler out of things that could harm them.
]
I statrted babysitting babies as young as 3 months when i was 13 years old. Then again, it all depnds on maturity, if you need a babysitter, meet them first and sit down with them and use your maternal instinct to guide you and see if theyre mature and responsible enough to handle your childs life.

I think 14 yeasr olds can totally be responsible or as irresponsible as a 5 year old. It depends on the person. But for a responsible young teen that is well trusted, I would definetly put you with a 1 year old. If your less responsible babysitting isnt the job for you, but Im sure you wouldnt post this question if you were that irresponsible.
Good luck! hope you get some good jobs :-D

its all a matter of how mature this 14 year old is..like if they are into drugs..sex..or anything like that..i wouldn't leave them with a kid period. but if they are mature..i think maybe 1 year old or 2 years old it is fine! =)

It would depend on the 14 year old. I'd want to hire a babysitter who had experience - maybe looking after little brothers or sisters. I'd also want someone who had taken a babysitting course from the Red Cross - this includes first aid and CPR.
Not only would that make sure my baby was with a safe person, but taking those courses could help a 14 year old feel more confident with his/her abilities. If she/he knows what they'd do if an emergency came up, then they don't have to worry about it all the time.
Other things come with practice - the more you are changing diapers, feeding babies, and helping put them to sleep the easier it'll be.

well a 14 y/o should be able to hold some responsibility but depending on how old the baby is i don't think i would trust a 14 y/o with a baby quite yet without supervision
]
14 is responsible enough to handle a baby as long as you know and can trust the person - maybe you should go through everything with them first ~ like changing a diaper and how to hold them properly just to be safe and leave them a note that they can refer to and of course your cell phone number or the number of the place you are going and any neighbors' numbers...wash the baby first tho because i wouldn't trust them to bathe the baby...and i wouldn't let the 14 year old watch a baby AND another kid at the same time

a regular 14 year old, id say someone who is potty trained.
]
Most 14 year olds are- but some are just plain WACK! I think if u put a responsible 14 year-old in charge of a 3 year old- you'd do fine.
]
It all depends on the person. Some 14 year olds are very responsible, some arnt. Before you put them in charge make sure you know them well.

MatuRity vaRies with people, so yes, some 14 yeaR olds may infact be extRemely Responsible! I think the paRent of the child would take that into consideRation, so RemembeR to always make a good fiRst impRession. And I think a 14 yeaR old would do okay with a 3-4 yeaR old! Goodluck!! Hope I helped!!
