Listen , Karen , I need your help . I don't know anyone here yet .   I'm glad to help you . What's wrong ?   My mother-in-law just went into the hospital in L.A.Hank and I will be flying there tonight .   I'm sorry to hear it . What's wrong with her ?   Doctors aren't sure yet.But the real problem is Suzy . She has a bad cold , and we don't want to take her with us . But we don't know who can stay with her .   You need a babysitter .   Yes , I'd ask Jill , the girl I've had before , but I need someone overnight.Maybe even for two nights .   I could have Suzy stay at my place .   I don't want to do that to you , Karen .   Why not ?   Your own kids would get Suzy's cold . I think it would be better to have a good babysitter here . But I don't know who to ask . I need someone more mature than Jill . It might even be for two or three days .   I know who we can ask . There is a girl I know , Sara Ralston.She is 17 , and she will usually take this kind of job . I know her from my church , and I trust her completely .   I'd like to talk with her.This is short notice , I know . But Hank and I are leaving tonight .   I'll get you her number . I hope she can do it . She is very responsible .   I'm glad you know someone . I knew you would be the best person to ask about this . I don't want to insult Jill or her mother . I think Jill maybe could do it.But I'd rather have someone a little older .   I'll go home and get Sara's number . I'll call her first myself .   Great . Then call me and let me know if she's free .
