It is not rude to say no to a job. You have the right to refuse any babysitting job you want to. Now, if she has a commitment to these families and has already prearranged to babysitt them every weekend, then it would be rude to back out on them. But if they just call on a Wednesday night, and ask for Friday (for example) then she has every right to refuse that job.

It's not wrong to say, "I'm sorry, I'd love to, but I really need to catch up on homework. How about next Saturday instead? Does that work out well for you?"
