While you are in another families house you are expected to obey their rules, and accept their values, even though you may not agree. I would not recommend doing religious activities unless you know FOR SURE that the family is religious. If you prefer to only babysitt christians, I suggest putting up flyers in your church, that way you are babysitting for families you most likely already know, and you know that they are religious.
definitely agree with chosen on the witnessing...bad language is a no no anyway...but a parent will tell by your peacefullness etc that theres something special about you.
as it happens the family i sit for mostly are christian...it was actually the mother who lead me to make a commitment...im an extremely new christian :)
when you do teach them the gospel though...be extremely simple if you understand what i mean...don't start preaching about hell and fire or laying down hard rules...tell the bible as it really is...and exciting and beautiful story!
