There isn't anything you can do, it's up to her parents. Just be glad she is good when she is with you.
Her parents blame the grandparents because it's easier to point the finger than it is to evaluate yourself.
If she is behaving like this around her parents it is because they allow it. Even when they decide they've had enough and try to change things it may take a long time to see the results.
Either way, there is nothing you can do, unless the parents have asked for your advice. If they have point them into the direction of some love and logic classes, I hear they are very good.
And.... most children are better for other people than they are with their parents. They already know what they can get away with in regards to their parents but don't be surprised if the longer she is with you the more she may start to push things. Children are always testing their boundaries. Just be strong about where you want those boundaries to be and she will probably always be an angel with you.

Maybe you could talk to her about how she's making her parent feel bad by treating them that way. Get her into an activity that would have her doing something really nice for her parents and then she could see how being nice to them really makes them feel nice and gives her a good feeling too.

that's interesting, usually the kid terrorizes the babysitter and is an angel around the parents. there is nothing you can do really. i babysat a brat of a kid and i tried to instill some good values in her but it didn't matter. it is the parents responsibility to teach her how to be a good person. at least she is nice to you!

Spoiled by the g-rents? What a crock of steaming dog poo! EVERY g-rent spoils their g-kids! It's what they do. But these folks are reinforcing it somehow.
It's not your problem. The parents are being lazy and are not properly disciplining the child. Just be grateful that she isn't a litlte sh.t to you too.

I know it is true with my kids they act one way with me and the other with other people. They know what they can get away with and who they can do it with. It could also be an attention thing so her parents will notice her more.

Her parents dont pay enough attention to her
Kids need 100000% undivided attention.
My daughter gets upiddy with me when I'm cooking or cleaning, but when I sit down with her and play/read she's a sweet cutie pie.
Of course that leaves no time for me, but oh well!

Let her parents handle the problem - you are just the babysitter.
