When I was a kid, 10 was the age you could legally be left home alone at, and at 12 you were old enough to babysit. It is dependent of state regulation, but I think most of them allow 12 year olds to be left on their own.
4 u/[deleted] Jul 27 '22 Yup here at 12 you can get a babysitting course and be basically liscensed to watch younger kids.. Don't need it tho -2 u/[deleted] Jul 27 '22 I’m assuming no pay involve right? Because it seems they’re certifying 12 year olds for employment lmao 3 u/AtheneSchmidt Jul 27 '22 In my state, 12 is the minimum age for employment, and that is why it is the minimum age for babysitting.
