PATIENCE. Seeing that you are the babysitter, he has his parents as the main caretaker and he is probably acting out in response to them. You have to work patiently to find your own place with this child. Trusting you is the first thing. You have to talk to him in words that he understands and show him with compliments and small rewards when he does something that is pleasing. Children will eventually learn what they can and cannot get away with and just know that in spite of their shinanigans - they love boundaries and walls. You have to establish this with him and stick with it. Let him know who is in charge and that you will not put up with negative or insensitive behavior. Also, have a sit down discussion with his parents and communicate with them so that you are all on the same page. The child might be receiving different signals and is confused. Get a large tablet or white board with colorful animals or other magnets. When he does something good, let him put a magnet in that place and allow him to see how his good behavior builds- and then take him for ice cream or something else that is fun. Rewards vs good behavior works. You just have to be patient and also make sure parents know what you are doing.

Aha, there is only one way to cure that little devil. Here are the steps of the prescribed medicine for the boy, I assure you he will become a holy saint in one minute:
1. Shave off his head. There should not be one single hair on his head.
2. Take an electric wire and plug it.
3. Now with the other ends give the brain some shocks at particular intervals of times.
4. Do this for 1 hour.
And Volia, he is cured. He will become a saint in no time.

He wants your attention. My grandson is 7. It's a tough age. They are trying to be big boys but are still little kids.
My grandson doesn't give me a big hug and say it's nice to see me. Instead, he runs around singing crazy songs clowning around. Then I get my "big hug" and things settle down.
He's old enough for card games or some board games.

You don't say why he's not calm, - is he freaked out (at being sick) or just excited?
Either wear him out physically, distract him, get him to do breathing exercises (if he's freaking out), talk to him in a calming tone of voice.

This sounds like his parents problem. They need to learn to discipline him.

play a lot of games with him to make him feel more comfortable around you, which, in turn, will possibly make him listen to you like he would to his parents.

you shouldn't be on the computer, you should be babysitting. maybe that's why he's misbehaving - he wants your attention.
