Best Answer

The law in Florida does not specify an age.

The responsibile individual must be capable of handling the kids, handling an emergency, and keeping their charges under control and safe.

Most people believe the 13 or 14 is right and the two states that have laws regarding this say that is the age.

but most people will hire kids 10 and under with an adult present.

From the NCCIC: States do not have regulations or laws about when a child is considered old enough to care for him/herself or

to care for other children. States may have guidelines or recommendations. These guidelines are most often distributed through

child protective services and are administered at the county level.Contact the National Clearinghouse on Child Abuse and Neglect

Information (NCCAN) at 800-394-3366, and staff there will refer you to your local child protective services agency to learn about

age guidelines in your area.

There is no set law for a "legal babysitting age", that is an age determined by each parent for when they think a child is mature enough to watch a younger sibling

Can a legal resident apply for citizenship for their sibling?

No, not citizenship, but a legal resident can petition a sibling for legal residency- but the sibling will have to wait in their home country many years (anywhere from 10-20 years)before being allowed legal entry in the U.S. Since you mention a legal resident, a legal resident can only petition a sibling if the sibling is SINGLE. If the sibling is married then you CANNOT file such a petition. If the sibling is single when you file the petition but subsequently gets married, you are required to inform the U.S. government- which would result in the petition being automatically VOIDED. If you know this and do not tell the government- then this would be considered fraud- putting your own legal residency and potential residency of the sibling at risk.
