What is the proper age for a girl to babysit?

1 Answer

Answer :

for six hours…. its questionable. At that age, I would have had no problem babysitting for that amount of time, but I grew up with 7 siblings and babysat at home a lot. It all depends on the person, really. If she has good emergency contacts and there are some decent safety perameters laid down I’d say she should be alright.
