The part I pictured in my head was when Kaitlyn took one of the kids she was babysitting to the park when he was crying and Nola came and distracted him with a blade of grass. It also reminds me of helping my best friend Tess babysit her two younger sisters. The book reminded me of when I babysit my little sister when my parents aren’t home. While reading this book I felt hopeful that Kaitlyn would get her title back and her business.

In the beginning I made a prediction that Nola (Kaitlyn’s competition) would be the best babysitter in the neighborhood, but you’ll have to read the book to find out if I’m correct. My favorite part was the end when Kaitlyn babysits for the Marshfield’s (the richest family in town) and gets locked in the pantry. But what happens when her competition gets in the way of her friendship with Liesel and Maggie?Ī quick, fun read, I adored the easy flow of the author's style, and felt disappointed that there is no series based on Kaitlyn and her friends.My favorite character in “The Babysitting Wars” was Kaitlyn because how confidant she was to reclaim her title as the best babysitter in the neighborhood. Suddenly, super-competitive Kaitlyn is getting no jobs at all, and she's determined to prove herself the best babysitter around. A new girl, Nola, moves in on Kaitlyn's turf, and everybody loves her. This is the first step in the Babysitting Wars. So when someone offers her twice her regular fee to take a last minute job, Kaitlyn feels guilty, but compelled to lie to the parents who had already booked her for that night, saying that she's sick and can't come. They've been planning and saving for it since fifth grade, but Kaitlyn worries that Liesel may not save all the money she needs in time. Good thing, too, since she's saving up for a trip to Wonder World with her two best friends, Liesel and Maggie. In the neighborhood of Marshfield Lake, seventh-grader Kaitlyn Sweeney has a monopoly on babysitting.
