In order to babysit you have to be 10 years old (or older). and have your babysitting license.

That's a good guideline, but there's actually no law in Ontario that explicitly dictates an age and as far as I know there are baby sitting courses available to those who wish to pursue, but there is no babysitting license. there is a babysiting course that you enter and when this course is finished if you pass they give you a certificate.

i am pretty sure the age dosent matter but of couse it wont be someone like 7 years old but it depends on howw responsible u are

i live in half way between Toronto and Niagara falls, and there is no legal age, but you must be over 8. also, i suggest not babysitting completely alone for more then an hour until you are at least 10 or 11. however, if you're 9-11, i suggest babysitting kids between 3 or 4 and 7. i started babysitting at 9.

The legal age to take the course is 11, and same with babysitting, but most parents would prefer that if they not too familliar with the babysitter that they are 12 and up.

What age can siblings watch younger siblings in Ontario?

12yrs old is the youngest one can babysit and training is required. When it comes to children younger than that you will be leaving them alone. Depending on the children that may be OK depending on the situation, Ontario doesn't have a minimum age for leaving children alone because it is so hard to define. To be safe have your 12yr old attend a babysitting course. It will be educational and maybe even profitable as they could then babysit others.
