What is the legal age one must be to be a babysitter?
The law has not established “legal” age at which someone may be a babysitter. However, factors to consider when determining if a child is age appropriate include the child’s level of maturity, number and ages of children being babysat, special behavior problems of children being babysat, length of time child will be required to babysit, and accessibility of a responsible adult in the event of an emergency.
