How old do you have to be a babysitter

How old do you have to be a babysitter

Answer #1

11

Answer #2

I had a 14 or a 15 year old babysit my kids. So, I guess around that age.

Answer #3

There is no age. It is the parents decision. If they think you are mature and responsible then they can ask you at ANY age.

Answer #4

I started when I was 11…but that was because I’m responsible & my parents were just down the road in case I needed them to help me out. Otherwise, I would say 14 would be a good age.

Answer #5

well it usually depends on different people some may want a sixteen year old or older others might say its alright for a thirteen or fourteen year old.I think the main thing for them is experience and maturity

Answer #6

I would hire a respectful and responsible 13 year old but I have never tried it

Answer #7

I would say 12

Answer #8

depends if your responsible and uve had experience

Answer #9

I think you should be around 10… you just have to be responsible Oh! and if you are around 10 barely eleven I suggest you get Red Cross certified because then the parents will really want you. And start out as a mothers helper not a babysitter. If you are around 10 years old and you are not certified by the red cross I am positive parents will say no unless you have known them for years and they really have faith in you. Just be very careful!

Answer #10

I started when I was 10 but if I had kids and needed a babysitter I would say 15 or 16 or older depended on the matureaty level

Answer #11

people do it at the age og 13 ?
