I was babysitting THREE Kids when I was 11... I can't believe it now - I'd never let an 11 year old watch my kids (heck the youngest sitter I had was 18 and my son was 7 then... Now the youngest sitter I've had (other than that one) was 22.
I do worry about my son being alone - I too call home and talk to him and he has a cell phone that calls me on autopilot... He's pretty impulsive which is why I call - BUT I've also found out that when I leave he pretty much stays in front of the TV or in his room - I think he's a bit nervous to go anywhere else - haha.
SO I'm not sure if I'll ever have him babysit (haha) for me or if I'll ever leave him home longer until he's 18
