My oldest two have been babysitting their younger siblings since they were 13 and 12. Before that, my friendâs daughter babysat (and she was 14 or 15). Itâs really not a big deal. They take turns watching the 3yo, and the other kids pretty much take care of themselves.
The reason is that most states do not have a legal age for babysitting. For the ones that do, the general minimum babysitting age is 13 years old. Having said that, it's strongly advised that parents also use their best judgement when deciding on the appropriate age for babysitting.ge of Children. How old the children are who are being cared for is one of the most critical factors in determining an appropriate babysitting age. If you have toddlers and infants requiring care it's not advisable to allow a young teenager to care for them.
