Maybe give some free advice about: Babysitting?
As the babysitter, you are not responsible for everything. Getting kids to sleep can be difficult for parents, too. He understandably misses his mom, and being in her bed is a comfort to him. I would not worry about it. The mom can move him into his own bed if she wants to when she gets home. Unless you want to sit up with him and his sister reading stories all night until both fall asleep, I would just let him choose where to sleep. Also, if the little sister is getting to sleep in her own bed, that is a major accomplishment. She may sleep much better on her own, without the older brother anyway. The mom should be understanding about this, and you are still a great sitter if you can get them into any bed.
