You must not restrict children by giving them such onerous responsibilities which cannot be expected of them. Please let children have happy childhoods.

totally depends on the 13yr old.Some love kids, but have no idea what more than 1hr with one is like.never allow someone your unsure about babysit .MOTHER'S INTUITION

Simply put: Yes

For a toddler younger than 1.5 i think it is too young. I think it also depends how long you will be away. A couple hours is okay but an entire day would be bad. The time of day would matter too. Yes it is okay during day time but not if the 13 year old would have to put the toddler down for a nap, bedtime or meal time.

I babysat from the time I was 10 until adulthood. I personally feel that a teenager, no matter how mature is not fit to care for a child under the age of 5. A teen has no experience caring for children. If in your case the teen has had a lot of experience caring for infants I would say okay but only for short periods of time or while you or another adult was there.

Yes!!! My little sister is 13 and I dont let her babysit my baby, and I wont for a few years. Even though most 13 year old girls adore babies, they are waaayy to immature to care for one alone.

Well I think that if you know and trust the 13 year old then I would say go for it because I have 1 19 month old little boy and a 6 month old little girl and I do have a 13 year old babysit for my kids it works out great know that its summer. So I say go for it

It depends on the 13 year old. I started babysitting at age 12 because I was really mature for my age and, having younger siblings, I had experience with young children and was very good with them. If she's good with your shild and mature enough to handle it, then there's no problem.

YES! A 13 year old is still a child.
