You should be paid at least minimum wage. Just (politely and nicely) tell the parents that you expect to get at least minimum wage for babysitting their child. Tell them that this child of theirs is eating all your food, which is a very good reason for them to raise you wage. Also tell them that he is disrespectful to your things.

It is important to tell them that their child is not being a perfect, little angel. Their parenting skills largely influenced his behavior, and it is important for you to hint to them that they need to discipline their child.

If they refuse to give you a raise, quit. It is not worth your time, and obviously you are not making a profit by letting him eat all your food. Its easy to find another kid to babysit.
