don't take this the wrong way but i'm under the impression that you are a bit younger... I  wouldn't suggest babysitting more than 2 children at one time.  4 children is a lot to handle especially these ages.

I don't recommend taking on 4 children under the age of 5 unless you're a very experienced, confident babysitter.  Especially if there's an infant in the mix, and especially if you already know the children can be difficult to handle, it could be unsafe.
In official childcare settings (e.g. daycares), in some states, it's not even legal for one adult to be alone with 4 infants/toddlers.

I'd recommend only accepting this babysitting job if you have another person there to help you.

You've expressed that you feel unsure -- never take a job that you feel uneasy about.  Well-founded confidence is key in childcare.
