Can't you go and take care of her at her own house? No bro, no dogs, no trampoline, no problems. She's probably bored from a lack of toys and a new location. Have her bring some toys from home, rent some toddler DVD's and books from the library, and bring out the crayons, paints, markers, and toys.

I hope you are just young and immature. There is a while internet out there - go google something!
Things I do with my son, all of which involve getting off your but.
1. go to the park or play outside - trampolines and 2 year olds are NOT SMART
2. play with water toys in a big lasagna pan in the kitchen (don't drown the kid though ok?)
3. play tag around the house
4. look at books and talk about the pictures, or better yet get a photo album out and look at photos! My son loves seeing pictures
5. Go to a kids website like NickJr and play a couple games (try Blues Clues or BackYardigans)
6. Download some kids friendly songs and dance your *** off
7. Pick up some finger paints this week and BIG *** sheets of paper - go to town making a masterpiece. And as a bonus you can use it for giftwrap afterwards.
8. Go shopping at the mall - sit and have a snack or ice cream, little kids love to feel all grown up.
9. play hair salon, do her hair and let her play with yours (it will be a mess but what the hell)
Please pay attention to when she is hungry and tired (find out nap and meal times ahead of time) if you keep these 2 things in mind things will go a lot smoother for you.

Two year olds are a walking,talking bundle of energy.They are curious about their world and will explore it until they fall asleep.Almost anything will entertain a toddler but they require constant supervision.Next time take her to a park, ( most little ones like the baby swing or you going down the slide together.Go on a walk and point out things and she will listen to what you are saying and look at what you are pinting at, roll a ball to her, finger paint with waterbased paints, play with dolls,easy puzzles etc.Keep in mind little ones take naps as well so you can rest up for round two.Try be patient with her.You'd be surprised how delightful a toddler can be but their curiosity can cause them to get in trouble. (climbing on chairs, opening drawers, pulling things out.I know you knowbut remember to keep the cleaning products out of reach.I always told my daughters when they were babysitting to keep the toilet lids down so a small child doesn't fall in and drown.As bizarre as this may sound their head is heavy and little ones don't have the strength to pull themself out if they fall in. If you are lucky she will follow you around and copy everything you do, so be good. LOL.Take care.

Well, you're the "adult" in charge, you obviously need to talk to her and your brother. Find out why she's crying. Talk to your brother. If he's being mean or annoying to her in anyway, ask him to leave. If he disobeys, tell him to sit in the corner (just don't over do it.) If you need more help, talk to an adult such as her mother or yours. EDIT: Stop being a lazy bum and play with her! She's only two! This is how little kids act. And chances are, this is how you acted when you were little... think about how your parents felt.

Play with her, two year olds are really alot of fun. I had experiances like this when I was young, I chose to do the wrong thing and now regret it.

give her a foam bat and tell her to hit your brother with it, and tell her your legs hurt and you can't go on the trampoline anymore or better yet go out with your friends all day long so you don't have to see her as much.

-find her a toy to play with
-give her some blankets to make a tent with
-then tell her she has to take a nap and then you'll play a game with her
-if that doesn't work, tell her your brother is going to play with her, and then leave your house
