Are you aloud babysit when you are 11?

Question

are you aloud babysit children on your own when you are 11

Answer 1

Seriously, I've babysat an 11 year old before.  I don't think its old enough.

Answer 2

Personally i wouldnt let an 11 year old watch my kids (when i have them) but i did babysit for other kids since i was 10...i then went on to nanny for 9 years after leaving school at 16.

Once when i was 14 i was left for the weekend looking after 2 kids aged 10 and 8.

Answer 3

um sorry but this time its going to have be a no and i know u wanted me to say yes but to be honest its really hard u know people who are younger than you take advantage of u and throw tantrums and start crying whenever they want to just cuz ur not their parents. and it looks fun but its not espeicially with kids aged 4-5 they have no respect for u at all. so im really sorry but a bit young to be honest.maybe 13 or 14

Answer 4

It would depend on your parents and the child's parents. There's no way I'd allow anyone that young to watch my children. Sorry, but you need more age and maturity before I'd trust you to watch my kids.

Answer 5

well u could babysit at that age if u already had facs in ur school u know halicks,emergency and stuff like that then u get ur babysittin license

i am sure u could babysit if it is a family member

or if u r mature enough

hope i helped

good luck=)

Answer 6

I babysat two of my younger step-sisters and my step-brother when I was eleven, but another of my step-sisters helped and she was ten.  Looking back on it, it seems really young to me.  But, we were ok.

Answer 7

I wouldnt allow an 11 year old to watch my child, unless they were mature well beyond their years.

Answer 8

At eleven, a mother's helper job may be better suited than babysitting. The parents would still be nearby in case of problems, and you would gain experience for babysitting later in life. My daughter did not even want to stay at home alone at eleven and did not babysit until she was in middle school.

Answer 9

No, where I am from the minimum age to babysit is 13

Answer 10

It all depends on how mature they are, how much experience they have, and whether or not they're ready for it. If they're 11, and they've taken babysitting classes, and they want to do it, and have other friends that have done it, then they're probably ready. But you should start out with her babysitting with one of her friends, or while the mom is still around. (It's called being a mother's helper.)

Answer 11

mhmm.. i graduated from safe sitter when i was 11 and started babysitting from there

Answer 12

h**l YEAH! you start at 9,its amaizing i know you could be only twyears older than the kid and your babysitting them but 11 and up is about right
