Re: Babysitting age requirement

Child care provider's have minimum age requirements. A person under the age of 21 is prohibited from operatoring a child care facility. A person under the age of 16 is prohibited from employment at a child care facility unless such person is under direct supervision. You will need to consult with me further about how you can comply with the law.
