In an exclusive clip obtained by Distractify ahead of the Skipper and The Babysitting Adventure premiere, Skipper takes on a new job at a waterpark, where her babysitting skills come in handy. In recent years, Netflix has rolled out other movies that shine a brighter light on all of Barbie's friends and family and now, it;s Skipper's turn.

Skipper may be the doll that you always gave to your friend to play with so you could be the Barbie, but the Netflix movie shows how big of a character she is these days. Not only with play sets of her own, but apparently with her own stories to tell that center on the thing Skipper has done best for decades — babysitting.

What is 'Barbie: Skipper and The Babysitting Adventure' on Netflix about?
