My name is Stacey.  I just moved from NYC to the country.  I’m at a new school and I made a group 0f friends.  We’re in a babysitters club.  What we do is get calls and babysit for kids.  We’re all 13 and we all meet up at Claudia’s house and have meetings on Mondays and Wednesdays.  Kristy Thomas is the President, Claudia Kishi is the Vice President, Mary Anne Spier is the Secretary, and me, Stacey MCgill, am the treasurer.  I have diabetes, so I have to eat a balanced meal and I’m not really allowed to have candy. Sometimes I have to go to the doctor because they’re trying to help me with my diabetes. But, it’s ok except that I have to have shots a lot.  Also, since there has been a new  babysitting agency we haven’t been getting many calls… Find out more by reading The Baby-Sitters Club, the 2nd book by Raina Telgemeier.
