The age to babysit has not been legislated in 48 of the 50 states. The general rule is that a teenager can take care of themselves. To take care of others is a mixture of age, relations and behavior of the children being cared for. Bottom line is that the safety and welfare of the children cannot be at risk.

There is no law. Most authorities believe a 12 to 13 year old can safely look after a younger child for short periods of time.

You have to be at least 12 to stay home alone, and around 16 to babysit a younger child
