How old should u start babysitting at?

Question

what age will people actaully let you babysit for there kids?

Answer 1

I think a lot of it will depend on maturity but I would say maybe 13 or 14

Answer 2

I think it depends on the culture and the environment

for example in my country it forbidden according to the law for ppl under 18 to work

but usually we bring our babysitters from outside the country for example from Philippine or India some of rich families bring their babysitters from France.u will not be able to find any Qatari male or female accept working in these kind of jobs.

we prefer the babysitter to be from age 25 to 40 because in these ages the ppl will be mature enough to take care of them.

BUT as i and most ppl can c that for example in America they start this job in very early ages between 13-18 with no experience sometimes, and the reason is the money. In contrast in my country the family finance their children until they graduate and work and in some cases until they got married.

we are very much family oriented and we are really care about the well fare of each member of the family.

In my family for example my father pays me 5500$ per month but even that when I'm going to shop with him he pays the bill :)

So its really depend on the culture and environment
