Medical Definition of Nerve Nerve: A bundle of fibers that uses electrical and chemical signals to transmit sensory and motor information from one body part to another. The fibrous portions of a nerve are covered by a sheath called myelin and/or a membrane called neurilemma. (Note that entries for specific nerves can be found under the names of the particular nerves. For example, the optic nerve is not under 'nerve, optic' but rather under 'optic nerve.')
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.
Older Children. If you are looking to babysit for older children, say from age 10 and up, you will want to be much older than the child. Depending on the length of the sitting, you should be about 4 years older than the older child youâre sitting for.For instance, if the parents of a 10 year old are going out for a movie and want someone to watch the child, a good minimum age for a sitter would be 14.f the parents of an older child are looking for a live-in babysitter (to watch their child while theyâre on vacation for instance), the babysitter should have a driverâs license â meaning that in most cases the sitter should be at least 16 years old.
