Yichud and Babysitting

Question

Is it enough to just leave the front door unlocked when a girl is babysitting children at night, and there’s also a boy over the age of nine in the house? 

Answer

Shalom,

A closed unlocked door is permitted, but not late at night when people are no longer passing by.
