Finding affordable child care can be a challenge - especially in California, which is one of the most expensive states for child care, surpassing college tuition.
California law allows babysitters under 18 as long as they possess the requisite maturity and experience to supervise children adequately, putting the onus on parents to assess suitability.
The 'reasonable and prudent parent standard' requires parents to evaluate a babysitter's maturity and experience, ensuring they know how to contact parents in emergencies.
When determining if a child is ready to babysit, consider their interest in caring for younger kids and their experience being home alone.
