Does anyone know of any kind and responsible babysitters? Teenagers welcome if their responsible. My daughter will be 12 in three weeks. It would be once in a while usually for about 6 hours. Sometime between 9am-7pm. Probably once in a while at night. I would leave her home alone because she's responsible, but the laws about leaving kids home alone in Illinois before their 14 years old is very vague and unclear.
