When Kristy Thomas has the great idea to form a baby-sitters club—a chance to earn money and spend time with her friends, all while doing something they each love to do—she has no idea how much the club will change everything.
Kristy, Claudia, Mary Anne, and Stacey try to be prepared for anything when they baby-sit. So when they hear about the Phantom Caller, a jewel thief who's been breaking into nearby homes, they come up with a plan to keep their kids safe.
Kristy's mom is getting married and Kristy is her bridesmaid! However, 14 kids are coming in town for the wedding. It's the biggest job the BSC has ever had.
