whats the legal age to babysit?

whats the legal age to babysit?

Answer #1

theirs a certain age lol never knew that weird

Answer #2

I don’t know, but in PA the Red Cross gives a course on babysitting and you have to be 13 or older to attend, so I’m guessing - 13.

Answer #3

It depends on the state. It’s usually 12 or 13.

Answer #4

The Red Cross does give a course in babysitting but you only have to be 11. In PA there is no legal age a child is allowed to babysit or be left home alone in fact, which is weird. It’s left up to what the parent thinks is best, but be careful if something happens while you left a child in charge, you will be held accountable.
