Want to answer more questions in the Domesticity category?
Maybe give some free advice about: Babysitting?
I suggest the website called The Sitter's Weekly.
It's a free online guide to babysitting - includes advertising advice, babysitting rates, flyer ideas, how to handle the children, etc.
It's located at [Link](Mouse over link to see full location)

well for different ages you can set up different things for the age groups the 5 thew 6 years could have a obsticale course and for all them you can have a pinata and a movie

You're going to have a *fun* time.
Kids that are such different in age are hard to keep up with because while a 6 year old wants to bounce off the walls the one year old isn't going to be able to keep up with the 6 year old running around yet you're going to have to keep a close eye on them.
Try finding a suitable movie for them to watch or a board game. Or ask a friend to help you and she can take the like age group and you the other. Try and keep them in one room so you're not running all over the place trying to keep a head count. You can get puzzles, action figures, dolls, horse (just stick a horse head you print from online onto a broom and they'll play with it for hours). Freeze tag is fun sometimes or playing with chalk. Give them paper and crayons/color pencils but have them stay away from the walls...
Most likely the kids will stay with their parents and their parents will look after them a majority of the time so don't get overly nervous =)

Well little kids like that are always into fun games and getting toys so put that into one![[for the older kids]] Make a tresure hunt for them that will last a long time. Make little clues for them. At the end have a basket or something hidden full of little toys from like the dollar store. When that ends take them over blind fold them spin them and point them in the direction of a piñata! Fill it with candy [[mostly sugar free to please the parents]]. The they'll love it! But to avoide kids getting upset make them share it equally.
Hope I helped!
Yours truly
