Story Title: The Efficient Babysitter

When the parents returned, bleary and grateful, they found the children asleep, blankets arranged in symmetrical care, and Mara packing up her binder. She handed them a brief summary: the storm, a wardrobe-turned-elephant, and Sam’s moon panic. They asked about tiny traces of gum on the couch; Mara produced the gum wrapper, neatly folded and annotated: “Found under cushions — probably from craft time. Disposed.” They laughed; the tension in their shoulders eased. Payment was exchanged, and the father asked the question Mara had heard a hundred times: “How do you do it?”

The story follows a protagonist (the babysitter) who faces a series of chaotic challenges while looking after children at Mrs. Anderson's house. Peg Kehret Protagonist: The Baby-Sitter Key Characters:
