i am 12, almost 13 and have been babysitting since was 11. I had practice from my church nursery and my baby cousins. in july i took a class called "pro babysitting class. All you need to know" it was a 1 day 7 hour class and I learned SO much! i would suggest taking a class like that and/or a CPR class. you get a certification badge from the class and looks really good when talking to parents about maybe babysitting there child. they would defiantly pick someone who is certified than someone who isn't. hope it helped and try looking for a class to take! xoxo swimmers0love0food

I believe it depends on the person and the family. I mean if you wanted to babysit, you should be able to!

In the UK, the legal age someone can be home alone for is 13. I think you're too young-I have babysat for kids age 12 before!
I know you think you need to make money, but your not even legal to have a paper round yet (13).

If you want to go the babysitting route... here's an idea. A woman called me when I had my ad up at the store for babysitting. She was looking for help after school at her daycare. A home daycare person will by law only be able to have so many little kids during the day and if she takes on a load of after school kids, then a second person is needed to watch over them. You might look for ads that say babysitting for before and after school and ask if they need help. Otherwise, check with some elderly neighbors if they need help with some odd jobs around the house.

Honestly I think it depends on maturity and responsibility. I think early, middle teens is a good time for babysitting cause you'll be a little older and have a little more responsibility. Twelve is really young to be a babysitter. You could try other ways to get money like walking dogs, and other methods. Ask your mom. I hope this helped!
