Plot summary

It starts off with Sadie's mum catching an illness. As Sadie's mum is a child-minder, Sadie has to look after four toddlers, her mum's mindees, herself.

Sadie looks after Gemma, Vincent, Sara and Clive, the four toddlers. Each day, they come round to Sadie's house and she looks after them. Every day Sadie goes to a certain place, such as a Police station (Gemma's mum's job), an office (Vincent's parent's job) and a sweet shop (Clive's mum's job). Unfortunately, Sadie catches her mum's illness, so she can't return the homework diary she was sent...
