It's about a group of girls called the Babysitters Club and another group of girls called the Babysitters Agency. They are against each other because they want to see which group of girls is better at babysitting. The Babysitters Agency doesn't really care about the kids, they just care about their money. But the Babysitters Club cares about the kids. The Babysitters Agency is taking away the Babysitters Club's job when they aren't even caring about the kids.

What is the main idea?
The main idea of this story is that there are these girls who babysit and are good at it. Then these girls come who can’t even babysit. The kids told the good babysitters everything that happened and how they didn’t care about the kids. They just wanted to watch TV and smoke with their boyfriends. One of the bad babysitters says to one of the girls she babysits for that she just wants the money.

What did you like about this book?
I did not like that the bad girls don't care about the kids they babysit. I do not like that because that is not nice and that is not the right thing. You don’t say to a kid, "I don’t care about you. I just want the money." The girls finally notice at the end what they are doing is wrong.
