www.michigan.gov look around in there, there should be some answers for you. But I think if you are taking money for it you do. Not sure though.

I didn't know there was a legal age for babysitting.

child support because there is another life involved than just yours

YES YES YES!\nI absolutely think people should need a license to have a child! We need to pass a test to drive, is raising another human being less of a responsibility than driving? There are so many people raising children that are obviously unfit parents.

You must be older than 18 to become a licensed baby sitter. \n\nAlso; there is a catagory for Self-Certified Providers: Care for 5 or fewer children or 3 infants in the provider's home. These provider are not licensed or monitored; they are eligible to participate in the Child Care Assistance Program.

There's no "legal" age for babysitting in most states, although Maryland and Illinois do have laws addressing the topic.\n\nIf the babysitter is left in charge of the children by the parents, she is acting "in loco parentis" - that is, in place of the parent.  In other words, she is legally acting AS the parent when neither is present, and has the full responsibility and authority she was given by the parent(s).\n\nSo the mom is both legally and morally wrong in telling the kids not to mind the babysitter.\n\n"In loco parentis\n\n    a person who has custodial/parental responsibility and authority although not actually being a parent (literally: "in place of the parents"). Although this can be established by written contract it is often assumed in common situations; thus a sibling or babysitter may have limited rights to act in loco parentis until the legal custodial parties (parents etc.) can be contacted."

I always heard of a law(in my state)that the legal age to be left alone is 12.  The Red Cross allows kids to take the babysitting course when they are 12.

It depends on the state in which you live. Some states (California, Illinois) require registration. Other states, like Michigan, don't require registration but do require a mandatory "safety check" which is kept in a database. How that's different from registration is beyond me. Other states don't require it at all. check the laws in your state - or just respond with more information, and then we can help your particular situation.

If you are with your children, supervising them, then you wouldn't need a registry to do it for you. It is your responsibility as a parent to supervise your children at all times. If you will look at the horrendous crimes against children, they are children that were not being supervised by a parent. Also, 90 to 95% of sex offenses occur by someone known to the child within the family or close friends. Stranger danger is not all that prevalent and the registries do nothing but provide a false sense of security.

u have to have a licence

There is not really a question being asked. But you are driving without a license in the first place you deserve to be arrested. I am from Michigan so I do not know if they can stop you there for a broken bumper. Every state has slightly different laws.

i dont know your local laws but if your a ceratain age you gotta have a working permit. But im sure you can do other things like baby sitting or helping people out. Ask your parents if you can help around and maybe collect money from them.

The public is not the baby sitter for children its your job not mine. If we see something wrong we report. That's the best we can do. Believe me I have seen lots claims of abuse reports go in, but there is a limit how much can be done. If you have a minor and can't trust suggest you look at yourself have you or are you doing your job.

Have the potential babysitter provide you with references(no relatives) and follow up with each one.

Based on the information you provided, its hard to say.  If your residence is in Michigan, and you claim your son on your taxes, he "could" qualify for in state residency.\n\nI would strongly encourage you to visit with their admissions staff who are the experts on the topic.  State residency laws and requirements vary by state, so going to the source is the key. \n\nHere is the link to their residency rules at U of M.\n\nhttp://www.umich.edu/~regoff/resreg.html\n\nI hope this helps!
