Karen's babysitters?

[1inthemorning]

I've been re-reading my LS books and I noticed that none of the baby-sitters ever baby-sit Karen like they do in the BSC books. I thought it was weird how someone is always home with her, although the BSC gets plenty of phone calls to babysit the family, and you never really hear about the Baby-sitters Club unless Kristy is leaving for a meeting,

In much later books, Karen and Andrew have a nanny for their month at the little house. I remember there's one book where Bart ends up babysitting them. But yeah, the BSC rarely shows up in Karen's books (and only when she's at the big house, it seems).

Do you remember which book Bart baby-sits them is? I don't think I have read that one!

I want to say #46? The title has something to do with Karen's Boy Babysitter or something like that.

A nanny for their month? So, in other words, some poor soul was only employed every other month?

Pretty much. I know in the few books I read with their nanny, she has a second job, in addition to nannying. BTW, the nanny's name is Merry Perkins. Oh, Ann/ghostwriters.
