We are going on holiday to Spain with the family and my 15 year old niece is coming with us. We have asked if she will, for one night only, baby sit so we can go out for a meal without the children. She is more than happy to do it and is a very sensible girl. The children love and respect her and she has always been a good play leader when the entire family are together.
She knows not to open the door to anyone. She will have our mobile numbers, and we will be less than a 10 minute drive away.
My ex is trying to cause trouble and has told my son that I am breaking the law if we go ahead with our night out.
I don't know what Spanish law states about babysitting age.
I also don't know if my ex can get me cautioned for doing it.
I need some advice.
Thank you.

Is it legal for my 15 year old niece to baby sit my 12yr, 6yr and 5mth old children?
