The Baby-Sitters Club is an American comedy-drama television series created by Rachel Shukert, based on the best-selling Scholastic book series by Ann M. Martin. The series introduced a revamped take on the decades-old book series that was popularized in the late ‘80s and early ‘90s, kicking off with the formation of the titular club by Kristy (Sophie Grace), Momona (Claudia Kishi), Stacey (Shay Rudolph), Mary Anne (Malia Baker), and Dawn (Xochitl Gomez). They create and run a successful business that incorporates their unique talents and their shared interest in caring for kids. Episodes deal with serious issues like divorce, gender identity, and racism, as well as accompanying strong emotions, but the friends always step up to help each other and to be positive role models for the kids in their charge.

Guest Stars include Alicia Silverstone as Kristy’s mom Elizabeth, and Marc Feuerstein as Elizabeth’s fiancee Watson, Marc Evan Jackson as Mary Anne’s straight-laced father, Richard, and Aya Furukawa as Claudia’s sister Janine.
