Please! Mother and I are at whits end!!!?

I am a new nanny to 4 boys! I need advice!?
Ok, here is the deal. I started nannying 4 boys 2-9yo about 3 weeks ago. The two older go to school, and the 4 and 2 yo stay home with me. Here is the deal, they left the honeymoon era and are into the hellraising era. The 4 yo will not clean his room as asked and continues to throw temper tantrums not doing what he is asked to. I have taken all privilages away including is pet fish! I don't know what else to do! Any advice?

The 9 and 6 yo are great at helping, but they have mouths and sneak. Any advice on that part too??

Discuss with the parents as to how they expect the children to be disciplined.

Tell the older children to help be a role model for him. Find his most favorite thing to do, like play outside, play video games, watch tv, and take that away for a day and make him apologize.

Talk to their mother and tell her to discpiline them correctly.
