A helper stays with me while my grown-ups go out. Read it together, at your pace. Every page is written in your child's voice.
1. Tonight a new babysitter is coming. A babysitter is a helper who stays with me while my grown-ups go out. My grown-ups picked someone they trust.
2. Before they leave, my grown-ups tell the babysitter about me. What I like to eat. What helps me feel calm. My bedtime plan.
3. Meeting someone new can feel strange. I do not have to talk a lot right away. I can wave, or say hi, or just play nearby while I warm up.
A new voice in my house might sound different. New people can feel like a lot at first. That feeling usually shrinks.

4. I have choices. I can choose what we play. I can show the babysitter my favorite game, or ask for quiet time instead. I can say "I need a break" any time.
5. My grown-ups say goodbye and leave. It is okay to feel wobbly at goodbye. The wobbly feeling usually gets smaller after they go.
What could the evening be like?
We play games and it is fun.
I feel shy for a while and play on my own first.
I miss my grown-ups sometimes during the night.
We don't know yet — I can ask the babysitter what the plan is.
💡 Evenings with a new person can go different ways. Asking about the plan helps.
6. If I need anything, I tell the babysitter. That is their whole job — helping me. If something feels wrong, I can ask them to call my grown-ups.
7. At the end of the night, I go to bed like usual. When I wake up, my grown-ups are home again. They always come back. That is how babysitter nights end.
In the app, your child can choose what happens next, rehearse lines out loud with Spark, and try different endings — including hearing a kind "no" and being celebrated for respecting it. Parents can also create fully personalized stories.
