Is my teenage daughter allowed to offer babysitting? We have recently moved to Downtown area and she is keen to earn some pocket money
TIA

Strictly speaking, it is illegal for anyone to offer their services for payment to anyone except the person/company who sponsors them, unless they have a self-employed licence and company premises, I believe. Of course, teenagers do often babysit for their neighbours. I wonder if a way round it is for the neighbour to offer the babysitter a gift voucher for a mall or shop of their or their parents' choice, whereby the parent could then give their offspring cash in exchange for the gift-voucher?
