Teacher Aide Age Restriction
 

22VAC40-185-220 Aides

  • Many of us have either used a teenager to babysit our children or have been a babysitter in our younger years. It is unfair to put a specific age restriction on the fact that teenagers must be 18 years of age to be left alone with children. This age demographic helps to not only fill in some hours to relieve the earlier coming employees but helps these younger teens to build on their morals of responsibility and independence.
