Favourite Sitter (Discussion)

[virgoscorpio]

Who is your favourite sitter? Has this sitter always been your favourite or did it change over time? What makes you like this sitter in particular over the others?


As a kid, my favourite sitter hands down was Mary Anne. I can't really explain why. Maybe I related to her? Maybe I liked her because - I thought - that she was the nicest? Either way, it was weird. I would even get a little huffy when looking at the next book previews and seeing that it wasn't a Mary Anne book. (And I mentioned how I was annoyed when she didn't have a book from 93 and then again at 102. Too long!)

Now I like Stacey. I still like Mary Anne but I tend to like Stacey more. And I also enjoy Claudia and Kristy. I guess I like the original four. I don't dislike any sitter, I like aspects of them all, but Stacey and Mary Anne are a bit higher on the list.

My favorite has always been Dawn. I kinda quit reading back in the day when she left for good but then saw she had her own series shortly after so was happy. Dawn's still my favorite! I think because she's such an environmental nut and she was from California and believed in Ghosts. I believe in Ghosts, and I have always been obsessed with California so I think that's the main reason I started liking Dawn. But now I see deeper into her especially after having read the California Diaries! he's alot stronger and complicated then she appears to be. Just like us.

Mary Anne has always been my favorite character she and I are both shy, sensitive and quiet. I also like Claudia, Shannon, Abby.

The first one I knew of was Kristy cause I was into Karen for a year before really getting into BSC. But I think the first one I really liked was Claudia, and then Mary Anne. I liked Stacey too, but it took quite a few books for me to really appreciate her though the first few I really enoyed when I started reading the series were from those three, so now I like Stacey, Claudia and Mary Anne best.

I liked Kristy when I was very little because I was a bossy tomboy. Then I liked Dawn, because she was an "individual" and had double-pierced ears--which I do now as well. Now I like Stacey because I relate to her the most.

It's always been Mary Anne for me.

I was sort of shy (although not to the degree we're supposed to believe MA is) so I think I identified with her on that level. And I grew up with one parent, for the most part, so I understood that as well. And I also just felt like she was sweet and really enjoyed the kids she sat with -- like they brought out the best in her and vice versa.

I'm also rather fond of Claudia, and I have a certain understanding and compassion for Mal, lol.

It's always been Mary Anne for me too, with Claudia as a close second. I always related the most to Mary Anne, feeling as though I looked most like her and acted most like her. I really wanted to be like Claudia with her artistic ability and tried hard to do artistic things like make jewelry, draw, and paint. I remember setting up my own still life and drawing it for hours.

I didn't do a very good job.
