I also just remembered that while the Barretts' original favourite sitter was Dawn, Buddy also really got on with Mallory once she helped him get into reading. In "Mallory On Strike", the last chapter has Mrs Barrett calling and saying that Buddy requested Mallory. That particular instance of helping him with reading was revisited in Mallory's last book, along with her helping the Arnold twins and the Delaneys. That makes sense too because wasn't Buddy friends with Nicky? Or at the least the families knew each other well. Like how Dawn calls Mallory for help first after Buddy goes missing in Dawn and the Impossible Three. As for the thread topic, I also agree that I was surprised this didn't come up more. We heard over and over that clients weren't allowed to request sitters because "it was more fair" and it led to bruised egos when a sitter was requested and the other girls got butthurt over it. Like when they all get mad at Claudia when Charlotte asks for her in Little Miss Stoneybrook. And doesn't Kristy get offended when Mrs. Newton calls Claudia after hours for a sitting job? But like, I don't see how that's a bad thing. Like you've all said, having a family ask for a specific sitter is a good thing, it means you're doing your job well. You'd think Kristy would like that sitters were getting requested instead of flipping out.
