"Also, in MY opinion it is an individual decision that families need
to make based on the maturity level of each child involved."

I agree. Trevor watched his younger siblings at 11 on occasion and did
great. We talked a lot about safety, he was really into babysitting
and earing money, we did it for short periods of time only. It worked
out fine in our family.

I'd say it depends entirely on the children and the situation. A five
year old would be a piece of cake for many 11y.o's...again, it depends.
