Want to answer more questions in the Domesticity category?
Maybe give some free advice about: Babysitting?
i started babysitting at the age of 14 so any age over 14 is fine. that is actually a law
hope this helps

For most the ideal age is 13 but maturaty is what really matters.

However old you want!

it's different for everybody. Whenever you feel you're mature enough to handle another life ;)

there is not an age, it is a maturity thing.

i would say about 12 is a good age, but ask your parents and people you want to babysit too!
]
it depends. i started when i was 10 or 11 and i started out just keeping the kids busy when their mom wanted to clean or something. so it depends if parents think you are ready to baby-sit.

I think as long as you can prove that you are resposible theres no age, of course not like 7, maybe 10 and up?
]
You usually need to be either 12 or 13 at the minimum to babysit.

Well here in Florida, it's illegal to leave a child home alone unless they are 14 or above...So let's say 14...13 seems kinda young to be babysittin anywayz...Have fun! Avoid babies (they come with dirty diapers) Much Love!!

some people start very young like 12 so its okay to do that

That's basically your or your parents decision. I babysit though.

I think you should be about 12 or up. thats a good age, but i do reccomend going to some baby safety classes or things like that. (im not sure what they are called but they are very helpful!)

well you can be any age but i suggest that you ask if anyone need a baby sitter . also i would put out flyers and ask neighbors for a job as a babysitter. people that you know that can trust you. but it also depends on your age. is you are 10-13 then i would do this but is you are older then i would just ask anyone even if you ont really know them.

12 or 13 i guess
]
If you are mature, 13 or older.

There is actually no age on how old a babysitter should be but the ideal age is 13 but it also includes whether there capable or not aswell.
]
umm.. probably atleast 13
]
Um i started babysitting when i was 11 but u couldstart at 10
]
Theres really no age limit, but I suggest you babysit when you reach about 13.

its not about age! i think that it should be all about responsibility and how much you can handle!

I think most places are 13. But I know some people that are 12 and can baby-sit because they have taken a class for it. Hope that helps !

I'd say 15 or 16. I babysit, and i started when I was 15, im 16 now. I think before age 15 they don't think you're ready for the responsibility

Some states have a legal age to babysit unless its for your own family or so, I live in Pennsylvania and i dont believe theres an actual age, not that i know of anyway, but most kids i know start around 13 years old.

I think it depends on what state you live in. In Louisiana the law states that you have to be at least 16.
]
I think you should be at least thirteen but in England, where I live it is illegal to babysit if you are under the age of fourteen.

12+

i would say at least 13..or whenever you think you are responsilbe enough to be left alone with kids for a while.

atleast 12

Well, any age I guess. But my recomendation is 12 and up. You could also take the "Red Cross Babysitting Course." So yeah, at least twelve I'd say!

I think the minimum of age 13 would work! So yeah 13+

I'm pretty sure you have to be around the age of 12. It doesn't matter at what age you start babysitting; as long as you are around the age of 12 and that you are trusted, you are fine. Hope I helped :)
