HMH Books is partnering with me for a giveaway! All opinions are my own.
I started babysitting pretty young. This tends to happen when you are the youngest in a family of 8, and where your older brothers and sisters are already married with kids. Babysitting is really an adventure. I remember the first time I had to change a blowout diaper. It was so bad. It ended up on me, the table, the wall, and I almost seem to remember it ended up on the dog too. Don’t ask me how.
Is my story triggering you? I kind of think all of us have some crazy babysitting stories right? That’s why I am excited to share with you a new middle grade series book from Houghton Mifflin Harcourt arriving at a book store near you on February 5th! This is perfect for fans of series like Whatever After and the Dork Diaries.Which my family totally is!
Here’s a little synopsis:
Once upon a time, a girl named Kristy Thomas had a great idea: to form The Baby-Sitters Club with her best friends. And now twelve-year-old Malia Twiggs has had a great idea too. Technically, she had Kristy’s idea. (And technically, little kids seem gross and annoying, but a paycheck is a paycheck). After a little convincing, Malia and her friends Dot and Bree start a babysitting club to earn funds for an epic birthday bash. But babysitting definitely isn’t what they thought it would be.
Three friends. No parents. Unlimited snacks. And, okay, occasionally watching other people’s children. What could possibly go wrong?
Everything! Right?!

I seriously loved the original Babysitter’s Club books back in the day and must have read all of them! That said totally just entered as I would love my girls to get to read the updated version. So fingers crossed now :)
Me too! Everyone one of them. This one is so good too, and my daughter and I were rolling on the floor laughing in a couple parts as we read it! Thanks for entering :)

AND.. probably some of your older siblings babysat YOU and you had blowout diapers?? Then you grew some and had to babysit their kids.
I told Scarlet that if I have another baby which she keeps begging for she has to do literally everything for the baby except breastfeeding.
We’ll see how that pans out!
Awesome giveaway here!!
I used to love Babysitters Club and both Scarlet and I are ready for a new generation.
Haha! Exactamundo. That’s how it went down.
My older kids are such a help. i count on them all of the time. I think Scarlet would be good at that :)
