I would refuse to sit for that holy terror, Betsy Sobak. I don't want to be a victim to one of her vicious pranks.

All of them.
Babies make me uncomfortable, so anyone with a baby or diapered human.

Karen for sure. She would annoy me and I'm not patient enough to deal with her. Jenny P would also be in that camp.
The Barretts are messy and gross. Depending on the timeline they might also come with four other kids who they argue with, so no thanks.

Karen, I'd have no patience for her.

Betsy for sure, I’d probably break something.

Any babies. I'm just not equipped to babysit for that age group. They need to be around Marnie's age at least for our mutual wellbeing.

I wouldn't mind a brand new baby, but once they start crawling or making messes I'd be out. I would rather sit for Lucy Newton than Squirt (even though he's one of my favorites to read about).

It's easier for me to think of who I would sit for. I think I'd be OK with Charlotte and maybe Norman Hill and that's it lol.
The worst (aside from the Lowells) would be the Pikes. Too loud, too many kids. And the Barrett-DeWitts, ugh.

I have a bunch lol
1. The Pikes. Margo's weak stomach when I have my own would just gross me out. Also, Claire's tantrums would drive me up the wall. And I'm the oldest of six kids!!
2. All of the Brewer-Thomases. Too. Many. Kids!!!! Especially Karen. 3. Jackie. I'd never be able to turn around without him breaking a bone or a glass. 4. Betsy. She'd probably put me in the hospital lol
I honestly think babies would be the easiest. With the exception of diaper changes, babies simply just need comfort.

Charlotte is probably the most sensitive charge, and I feel like I could help Norman lose weight because I'd like to study nutrition in college!

I agree 100%. Squirt is adorable, but Lucy seems quieter. A baby constantly screeching for attention would make me lose patience, honestly lol

I volunteer with the nursery at a local church and honestly the two year old scare me the way they jump off tables. I’d much rather take care of Andrea, Lucy, etc over Squirt or Emily.

I volunteered at a day care once, and the oldest was about five years old. I'm pretty sure most of the kids were special needs, and so they required a lot of patience. Andrea and Lucy both don't seem as active. I guess a helpless infant is easier to take care of a growing independent toddler lol

All of them. Babies make me uncomfortable, so anyone with a baby or diapered human. Babies are sweet until they cry. I have never changed a diaper in my life. Is anyone else in this club? So funny that these books were my life for so many years yet I was never at all interested in sitting. Betsy was a budding sociopath, wasn't she? Oh, I suppose she was contrite when she saw that Claudia actually got hurt, but she still took pleasure in others' humiliation at her tiny age. So creepy.
