Skipper is challenged on ‘Barbie: Skipper and The Big Babysitting Adventure’

In a sneak peek clip shared with Showbiz Cheat Sheet, viewers will see exactly what Skipper is up against. During a babysitting gig, Skipper thinks she’ll have a few minutes to relax but accidentally sits on a squeaky duck toy, which starts a chain of events that has her scrambling.

The noise first wakes up the baby, who begins to wail. Skipper picks up the baby, trying to soothe her in the hopes her crying won’t wake up the rest of the children. But it’s no use, everyone wakes up from their naps. Of course, the first thing out of the kids’ mouths was, “I’m hungry.” And “I’m thirsty.”

It’s also suddenly playtime. “I’m a fire truck!” one child exclaims ready to play. The children are now revved up and start running through the house as Skipper tries to figure out how to restore peace.

How does Skipper try to get the kids to relax?

One strategy Skipper uses is to tell the kids to pretend to be bear cubs and “hibernate!” Her efforts go over the children’s heads because they are fixated on the fire truck game and the running continues. Not only are the children running through the house, but someone is bouncing on a chair. Another child grabs a pitcher filled with water and throws it on the ground.

Skipper is scrambling, while she holds the infant and tries to bring order to the chaos. But it is getting messier and messier. One of the kids knocks over the artist’s easel and paint goes flying all over the house. This babysitting job does not seem to be getting any easier, so how will Skippper get the kids to relax?
