The Baby-sitters Agency was a club that only existed in The Truth About Stacey. It is a rival baby-sitting service of the Baby-sitters Club.
About[]
The BSA was ran by Liz Lewis and it was made up of older girls who could stay out later than the members of the Baby-sitters Club. They are often snobbish and want all the attention. However, the members of the BSA were irresponsible. A member called Cathy Morris let Jamie play outside in the street by himself, another left a cigarette burn on a client's furniture, and another brought their boyfriend over. The kids who were babysat by the BSA told the club that they weren’t having as much fun because the babysitters wouldn‘t play as much with them. The club gave the BSC some competition at first but folded rather quickly.
Other Job[]
Later on, the BSA remade their group as a makeup group called Makeovers, Inc. They showed people how to tie their hair and put on makeup the way they thought suited them, but people avoided them because the BSA kept on forcing them and shoving it in their faces. The BSC laughed at them,and the BSA became extremely hostile.
