minimum age to babysit in Illinois?

That depends on the babysitter, the parents of the babysitter and the parents of the child being baby sat.  This is for the informal babysitting done within the neighborhood.\n\nIf you are talking about what amounts to being a job with reported income, there are typically laws which dictate the work habits of those under 18 and those under 16.

You don't state your child's age.  In many states, your child cannot be formally employed before the age of 15 or 16. Check your state guidelines. If your child can't, your child can always do:\na paper route\nmow lawns for others\nshovel snow in winter\noffer a dog walking service \nbabysitting\nhousecleaning

I would highly doubt that there's a "county law" that would regulate your babysitting.  Counties are rarely involved in that sort of regulation.  \nYour state's legislature may have enacted day care laws and/or your state's department of human services (or whatever it's called in your state) may have enacted regulations for licensing day care centers.  The human service/child services/children & families state agency will have the best information as to whether you need a license for daycare

You would probably have to be at least 18, but thats not the only criteria.  You have to show a stable environment too, via income, housing, stability...etc.\n\nIf you don't meet this and to help, try a big brother, big sister program where you schedule visits with a child.

usually a grocery store will work with that.  Go into one and pay attention to everything, fill out an app and explain IF THEY ASK the age prob.  Usually they will let her be a cart pusher or something.

Probably 18 without parent and 16 with. Also if you are going to do this make sure you do some research on costs because some can be pretty expensive.

Suprisingly, California does not has a specific minimum age for a child to be left unattended at home.  I know someone who regularly leaves an 8-year-old girl at home alone.  Child Protective Services was not concerned with this situation at all.\n\nI personally think the minimum age should be 13.

There isn't really any set qualifications for babysitting. A good babysitter would know CPR and have first aid training and maybe a few child care classes.

Check with local/state laws.\nSome places have a minimum age under which a child cannot go door to door without parent supervision.

im not positive about illinois, but i got arrested for underage drinking when i was 17 and i only got $100 fine, and had to go to a group court alternative. if it a happened again though i would get $250 fine, 250 hours community service and counceling and my lisense taken away till i was 21. i hope that gives you an idea, if not just call the juvenile court in your area and ask.
