When Kristy Thomas has a great idea to form a BABYSITTERS CLUB - a chance to earn money and spend time with her friends - she has no idea how much the club will change everything.

Kristy and her co-founders, Mary Anne, Claudia, and Stacey, are sure they can handle anything. But only if they stick together . . .

Люди со всех концов города звонят им, чтобы попросить посидеть с их ребенком в выходные или после школы. Девочкам нравится их подработка, хотя иногда ситуация и выходит из-под контроля. Но подруги точно знают: они все преодолеют, если будут держаться вместе и не терять оптимизма!
