good one!
depends on the maturity of the child...
I started at age 12.
but, also was left in charge of my sisters before that...
Also, will it be for an hour or so...or moe.
age of kids to be sat for, too.
My first baby was age 13 I believe.

The maturity of the child watching your child is definately a must. Plus, the knowledge of WHO they are and their background & family.

I think it depends on the maturity level of the person. I know some people in their late twenties that I wouldn't let watch my dog.
12 or 13 is probably ok in some cases..

The Red Cross certifies kids starting at 11? 12? and they won't certify them if they don't pass the course... So I would say anyone who has passed the course, especially if I know them.
My older daughter was responsible enough to babysit at 11; my younger daughter will be 14 this summer and I don't think I'd trust her to babysit anyone, because of her impatience and tendency to boredom (major ADHD.) She loves playing with little kids, but not as the sole caretaker.

Here you can take the class to be certified at 12, but it definitely depends on the kid. Look into grades, extra curriculars, etc. I started by meeting people at church, thats a real good place to look.

i was 11 or 12 when i started babysitting but its def. an issue with maturity these days your luckly if you trust an adult to watch your kid
