There is no specific age. But the babysitter must be safe, feel safe and know how to take care of themselves and how to handle any emergencies. The child being watched must be such that they will obey and listen to the baby sitter. Leaving a child of 12 alone for long periods of time is not probably a good idea. Most places believe that 12 to 13 is okay to leave lone for a few hours during the day. Finally, much depends on the maturity of the child and the area they are in.
Bottom line, the parent is the one who can best decide.
