Hey folks Sorry if this has been asked before. Just wondering if there are any specific rules or guidelines on ages to babysit and ages of children that they can babysit for, length of time etc?

There is no legal minimum age at which a child/ teen can baby sit.

I used to babysit at 15 I would mind the 2 kids 5 and 7 from 7pm till 3 am.

I always thought you had to be 16 or older to babysit, seems I am wrong.

I am available for babysitting. I'm a mature 32 year old with plenty of experience with tots! I have a diploma in Montessori teaching also. I am living in the city and can babysit anywhere in or around suburbs. I have my own transport. Message me for information. P.
