age child can babysit
Many mothers on Mumsnet mention their own experiences of babysitting, often for money, from the age of 12 and in some cases younger. One highlights how attitudes are different in Germany and Switzerland where children commonly walk to school alone from the age of six.
Please watch your kids. The legal age when you can leave a kid home is 12. But that is the legal requirement, parents should always think twice before leaving a small kid in the hands of a 12 year old. 12 year old is still a small kid and giving a responsibility of a an even younger kid to a 12 year can be dangerous.
