How old were you when you started babysitting?

A'ight, I need your help on this one.

My husband, Farmboy, and I have been debating back and forth about our oldest daughter babysitting her 10 and 5 year old siblings. She's 12, is very responsible, self driven, and has amazing grades.

Farmboy is all for it, but I'm the one with hesitation - I mean, I was 12 when I first started babysitting, but it seems like it was a different world back then! There's so much more to worry about now... or is that just me being over protective?

What do you think? Is 12 too young to babysit?
