Maybe give some free advice about: Babysitting?
Time out!! A minute for every year so if they are 5 5mins... No special treats for bad behavior and no tv or toys until they listen to you. If they do something wrong give them thir 5 minutes in the corner away from you guys and then after the 5 mins ask them if they know what they did wrong, and say if you do it again you will be back on time out and they wont be able to play. Stand ground show them your seroius and your not playing

when you babysit, you need to talk to the parents to find out how they disipline, and what they agree is appropriate for you to do. You don't need to yell, time outs are the best solution for baby sitting. They won't listen to you if you don't follow through with it. If one child hits another, you say, Hitting is not nice, it hurts people. If you do it again you are going to have a time out. You pick a corner, chair, or someplace to designate as a "time out spot". Now this is the hard part, it will take some time. If they hit again, you say, Hitting is not nice, you are going to sit in the time out spot now. You put the child in the time out spot, if they are young, then only put them there for a few minutes, it they are older a little longer. Now most kids that won't listen to you are not going to stand there for you. You may have to repeatedly put them back there over and over until they stand there quiet for their time out time. If you stop and give up, then it's over for you, they know that they have the upper hand and they won't be in trouble. It's gonna be hard, I wish you the best of luck, and don't forget to reward them when they finally sit through their time out quietly. Always reward the kids when they are behaving good.
