well... it really depends on how responsible you are, NOT how old you are.......but normally you should be a teenager.

well i know a girl that is 11 and responsible and people already asked her to babysit for them welll can she babysit at 11 in Canada ? and the corse is like 4 months until she actually turns 12 so could she ?

I think most people allow people at least 12 to baby-sit, but yes, it does depend on your responsibility.
You can be a mothers helper at 11 or 12. It depends on the children. I started babysitting at 11 with 3 kids. It all depends on responsibility. Young baby sitters get payed less. At 13 my auntie babysat an 8 year old so i think you should take some classes just to prove that you are trustworthy enough to look after other peoples offspring. Even your own brothers and sisters. You should make sure to keep the kids in you sight at all times and don't spend most of your time on the phone!! Hope this helped

It all depends on what the parents think and if the parents trust you with their kids you can babysit.

The age 11 is good because that's the age that you can take the babysitter course and get a license. Start out with older children and family members first.

If you are 10 short periods of time and older children would be a good way to start as well.

In addition:

You should also check into the laws in your area. Some places have laws that say you have to be 12 years old before you can babysit.

Baby sitting courses can also be different in different areas and depending on what organization is running the course. In some places you can take the course at 11 but other places say that you have to be older.

there is no age law to babysit. It depends on maturity. A mature teen can babysit.You can be any age. Just make sure you can be trusted.
