Department of Family and Children Services

Department of Family and Children Services (DFCS) suggests the following guidelines:

When determining if a child is old enough and mature enough to be left without adult supervision. Keep in mind that each child is different. In addition to the minimum supervision guidelines, parents, guardians and adults have to consider child-specific factors such as personality, developmental progress, environment and maturity when deciding if a child is ready to accomplish activities with little or no supervision. 

  • Children eight years or younger should not be left alone
  • Children between the ages of nine years and twelve years, based on level of maturity, may be left alone for brief  periods of time (less than two hours)
  • Children thirteen years and older, who are at an adequate level of maturity, may be left alone and may perform the role of babysitter, as authorized by the parent, for up to twelve hours.
