Ask the kid's parents if you can bring some of your friends to help you watch this kid. Then all the girls go and talk to him. If he still doesn't listen, two of you carry him up to his room and put him and his bed and two of the girls hold him down until he behaves.

Ok, first of all, he's not psycho. He just has a neurological disorder, but it's not his fault. I deal with ADHD boys every week, you just have to look him stern in the eye and tell him what he's going to do and if he doesn't, there will be a consequence. Once you are done telling him do not say, "Ok?" Because you are not asking him a question, lol, you are telling him to do something. Try doing something competitive with him like playing a board game or an active game (Simon Says might work), not something quiet like watching a movie or reading a book which requires staying still.
ADHD=Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder
GOOD LUCK!!!

I babysit my little sister and that happens sometimes. The easiest thing to do is just talk not yell at them. Tell them how they should act and that it will make them seem older and be treated older. Once you have him calmed down you can set him up with something that will keep him busy but quite. Whether its the TV, computer, or a coloring book. Just make it something he's interested in.

You should probably be a little bit more specific in your question in order to get better advice. If he is just being crazy though try and suggest a quiet activity that will calm him down but that he will love to do, but don't try to make him do it. Suggest watching a movie or tv, or even coloring a picture (make sure he doesn't make a huge mess though) or you could read him a book or suggest a dramatic play activity that you can do (such as playing dogs, house, cats, etc.)

all kids tends to be hyper active...dont say that he has adhd. depending on his age 1-4 : why dont you read a book to him or play a nice quite game (reward him if he wins or if he sits quietly while you read) if he is 5 and above:do some kind of an arts and crafts project or if he is sporty try some athletic related game. If he is acting as 'crazy' as you say he is, its probably because he is bored. give him something quiet (but productive) to do.

Find a physical game that the two of you can play, like tag or something that will drain his energy. Also make a habit of telling him jokes and keep your conversations with him animated and fun. It will take more effort on your part, but at least he will be entertained and drained of some of that excess energy.

Call your mom and get her over to help. Then refuse to babysit for this person again.

Take him outside to play and wear him out. He probably just has some excess energy that needs to be burned off.

Tell them what went on while they were away and tell them if they want you to babysit again he'd better be under control.
