Not to freak you out, but they'll try to be funny (naughty is more like it) and act up. Just let them know that you are the boss. Don't be afraid to use a stern voice if they won't listen to you. At the same time, be fun. Be their best friend. Eventually they'll get tired and will fall asleep.
Don't think you'll get them to bed by their normally scheduled time? C'est la vie! Their parents should know to expect that their kids won't get the same treatment and schedule with a babysitter, even if the baby sitter is a family member.
Just go with the flow and make sure you have a good time with the kids.
