In THE BABY-SITTERS CLUB, five friends join forces to start a lucrative business that serves the childcare needs of their community and allows them time to hang out together. The idea first occurs to Kristy (Sophie Grace) as she watches her mom struggle to find a babysitter for her younger brother. So she teams up with her friends Mary-Anne (Malia Baker) and Claudia (Momona Tamada) to form a club that meets several times a week to field childcare requests from parents in their community. Soon Stacey (Shay Rudolph) and Dawn (Xochitl Gomez and Kyndra Sanchez) join their ranks, and the five girls create a club around their shared devotion to helping parents care for their kids' physical and emotional needs. At the same time, the club becomes a respite for the girls themselves as they turn to one another for help in dealing with the challenges in their own lives.
