[quote=Anonymous]OP - I would be comfortable starting now and slowly working up to it. You'll know after short and close times whether it works for you or not and the comfort level of everyone as time goes on. Of course its reasonable for your 13 year old to be in charge. Regarding compensation, we did pay my kid when he was 13 and my younger was 10 (and they didn't want babysitters just like yours don't). We paid at half the rate of regular babysitting gigs - that way he gets something but he also knows the other half is part of being a family. We did this because the 13 year old started to babysit for other families too. But when the younger became 13, we stopped paying since both were old enough to stay home alone. But if they are home together, we pay for them to go out to dinner or get ice cream or whatever.[/quote]
