Anais Lee is definitely one to watch!

The 13-year-old actress can currently be seen in the new Netflix series The Baby-Sitters Club.

Anais plays the role of Jessi Ramsey in the two-part “Hello, Camp Moosehead!”

Though Jessi is only in two episodes in season one, executive producer Rachel Shukert dished on the importance of the character, and the potential of a bigger role in future seasons.

“I think it will look a lot the way that the books do because they come in later in the [story]. That’s something that I always liked about Mallory and Jessi, is that the first relationship that you have, especially with people that are a little bit older than you are, where you can idolize them and hope they think that you’re cool enough and there’s always a little bit of a drive to survive, is an interesting thing to explore,” she told ET.

“I also think that Jessi is an interesting character because she’s someone who is so focused on ballet — the way that an athlete is. That’s a different kind of character than we’ve seen often, somebody who really has the eye on the prize,” Rachel added. “I think both of those characters are interesting to explore, especially with each other and just the way they fit into the larger picture of the club, which will be a big part of future seasons, should we be so lucky to get one.”

You may also recognize Anais from playing the younger version of Yara Shahidi in The Sun Is Also a Star.

We got to know Anais Lee with 10 Fun Facts. Check them out below!

• 1. I am lucky to have an identical twin sister, Mirabelle Lee, who is an actor, model and dancer too! She is my best friend and we do everything together.
• 2. I started dancing at 2 years old! Technically I wasn’t allowed to start until I was 3, but my mom convinced the school and it was the best decision ever!
• 3. I love baking! Since the pandemic and staying at home, I’ve started baking every day! I have made many desserts like cookies, cakes, brownies, macaroons, soufflés, scones, and many more. My family loves it when I bake for them; I’m basically the personal chef of the family.
• 4. I have a dog named Emerald. She is a Shih Tzu and Mirabelle and I love to dress her in bows and sweaters.
• 5. I love to travel! Almost every year my family and I go on vacation either on a cruise, a road trip, or somewhere fun. I love to see new places and learn about the culture in the places I go. Some of my favorite places I’ve traveled to include: Jamaica, Mexico, Columbia, The Bahamas, Aruba, Curacao, Germany and France!

Malia Baker is breaking out in the spotlight in The Baby-Sitters Club on Netflix!

The actress stars in the new series as Mary Anne Spier, the treasurer of The Baby-Sitters Club.

“She has a lot of inner dialogue and is funny without realizing that she is. She is a dreamer who is shy with a benevolent warm and accepting nature,” Malia told J-14 about her character. “Mary Anne is being raised by her overprotective but caring dad and she loves her friends more than anything!”

Malia has previously been seen on TV in episodes of The Flash, A Million Little Things and The Twilight Zone.

We got to know Malia, and the rest of The Baby-Sitters Club, with 10 Fun Facts. Get to know Malia below:

• 1. I love listening to music and my taste in music is all over the place. I’ll go from Ella Fitzgerald, to The Beatles, to the Notorious B.I.G., to Aretha Franklin and then to Beyoncé!
• 2. I’ve had an obsession with the Hamilton soundtrack since 2016.
• 3. I’ve secretly wanted to chop all my hair off! But then I chickened out because I love my hair and I am scared to cut it all off, haha!
• 4. My favorite type of cookies are macarons, just to be fancy.
• 5. It’s funny, but I feel very uncomfortable when the attention is all on me, which is a weird thing to say considering I’m an actress! I have definitely gotten used to it, but still find it very weird.

Xochitl Gomez is killin’ it in The Baby-Sitters Club!

The young actress is building her resume and currently stars as Dawn in the new Netflix series.

“I play Dawn Schafer who is the laid back, vegan, hippy activist of the bunch. Dawn is passionate and empathetic. She’s both funny and smart,” Xochitl told J-14 about her character. “She’s also Latina, which is a new update for the Netflix series that I am really excited to bring to the screen.”

Xochitl (pronounced So-Chee) has also appeared in an episode of Netflix’s Gentified, and two episodes of Raven’s Home!

At the time of this posting, The Baby-Sitters Club is a top ten title on Netflix in the US.

To celebrate the new show, we’ve been getting to know the cast with 10 Fun Facts!

Check out Xochitl Gomez’s fun facts below…

• I’m an only child, but I have tons of cousins. Sometimes I think it would be nice to have a sibling, but it’s pretty cool to have all the family focus, especially during the holidays. Hahah!
• I’ve been in improv classes since I was about 8 years old. I love doing improv because you get to work with others and make funny sketches. It really helps you think on your feet and get comfortable being spontaneous.
• I learned to skateboard while filming Season 1 of The Baby-Sitters Club in Canada. Vancouver has the best and cleanest skate parks and even free classes on the weekends.
• Costume designer Cynthia Summers created the new and updated look for my character Dawn in The Baby-Sitters Club. She was inspired by a combination of urban looks she pieced together to create a signature style.
• I love artichokes and raccoons. I even have raccoon themed wallpaper in my room.
