Illinois\nPreparing Children to Stay Alone (May 2001), by the Illinois Department of Children & Family Services (DCFS), has the following information about the legal age to be left home alone in Illinois:\n\nWhat is lack of supervision?\nIllinois law defines a neglected minor, in part, as "any minor under the age of 14 years whose parent or other person responsible for the minor's welfare leaves the minor without supervision for an unreasonable period of time without regard for the mental or physical health, safety or welfare of that minor."\nJuvenile Court Act, 705 ILCS 405/2-3(1)(d) \n\nHow long may a child be left alone?\nWhat is appropriate under certain circumstances may be considered child neglect in other circumstances. \n\nWhile recognizing that many factors may apply, Illinois law lists 15 specific factors to be considered when deciding whether a child has been left alone for an unreasonable period of time. \n\nThis information is available on the Web at http://www.state.il.us/dcfs/docs/alone.doc.

it depends on how mature the child is. of course there are laws that have required age limits on things like that.

im not positive about illinois, but i got arrested for underage drinking when i was 17 and i only got $100 fine, and had to go to a group court alternative. if it a happened again though i would get $250 fine, 250 hours community service and counceling and my lisense taken away till i was 21. i hope that gives you an idea, if not just call the juvenile court in your area and ask.

I don't know the specific laws in Illinois, you need to contact an attorney for that, but in most states both parents have to sign away their rights to the minor child.  You don't state whether your mother is living or not.  So we will assume she is not for the sake of the discussion.  You would need to go before a judge requesting to be made the guardian of the child.  The court will look at all the circumstances and determine if you are suitable to be the guardian.  If found to be acceptable you will be awarded custody and guardianship papers with all rights and responsibilities as if you were the natural parent.  Again I would advise you to contact an attorney regarding the specifics you would need to perform to obtain guardianship of your brother.

You must be older than 18 to become a licensed baby sitter. \n\nAlso; there is a catagory for Self-Certified Providers: Care for 5 or fewer children or 3 infants in the provider's home. These provider are not licensed or monitored; they are eligible to participate in the Child Care Assistance Program.

For the best answer, you should check with your  local police department, or child welfare office. It may vary by state. I believe it is 12, but you should also be aware of the child's maturity and capability.

I don't think there is an age limit to be honest with you.  14 year-olds babysit, so I don't think it's a problem.  As long as she is capable of handling an emergency.

You would probably have to be at least 18, but thats not the only criteria.  You have to show a stable environment too, via income, housing, stability...etc.\n\nIf you don't meet this and to help, try a big brother, big sister program where you schedule visits with a child.

Teens can work at 16. Just need a permitt which is easy to get. Do a search type in Child Labor Laws and your state to find out how to get one. Also in some states the min age without a permit is 16 others 18. it all depends on the start. \nhttp://www.doli.state.mn.us/childlbr.html\n\nhttp://www.dwd.state.wi.us/er/labor_standards_bureau/child_labor_laws.htm\n\nhttp://www.dol.state.ga.us/em/child_labor.htm\n\nhttp://www.dol.ks.gov/ES/html/child_DEE.html
