This is cool, thank you for sharing! I never saw the TV show as a kid and only saw the movie as an adult, so it would be nice to see a live adaptation live, if you know what I mean.
The article itself is a little confusing--these aren't exactly "young adult" books, and as far as "In a bid to keep the TV version as timely as possible, episodes will broach topics including divorce, racism and belonging" I'm pretty sure there were entire books that focused on those topics.
And you have to LOL at "Martin’s late 21st century source material, about a group of girls who started a babysitting business," considering the time warp keeping them all in 8th grade forever...
When I reread your comment, I started to imagine the BSC in the late 21st century. Then I got the idea for a crossover with Claxton Dong’s novel Save Our Star, which was meant to be the start of another middle-grade series about different kids traveling through time. That story says that sometime in the 21st century, children got the right to control their own lives like adults, and it describes some details of this future, like how children can choose to work and/or take classes for pay, or how anyone can move into a cheap, private dorm room. That could change a lot about baby-sitting and the rest of the BSC’s lives…

I hope someone picks it up to develop the series!
