Babysitting matters, business, and family members and conflicts of intrest.?

My ex mother in law babysitts in my home while I work overnight for my kids ages 10, 9, and 3. Mother in law is on disability and needs extra money.Already having problems w/ MIL who allows the kids to do whatever and stay out and up all night. Now to make matters worse one of her other ex daughter in law moved in two doors down from me. The other daughter in law is also a single parent w/ kids. I can easily see the other DIL leaving her kids on the MIL since she already watching my kids. I do not want her other grandkids at/in my home nor out of my house visiting while she is on my dime, not to mention the wear and tear six kids could have on my home while I am out. The new neighbor DIL parties often and does not work and I can see her asking the MIL to babysitt. Not to mention I am the leasing agent to her other DIL. I prefer to keep my distance and hope that the MIL does too b/c she is working. How can control for this?

Update:

Personally I did not approve the daughter in law for the apartment b/c of lack of income. My boss/ landlord went over my head b/c the last leasing agent denied her, but approved some close friends who should have been denied . DIL filed suit with the city and he wanted no trouble so he let her have it so long as she pays. My landlord/boss provides free rent to me so long as I help out with administrative taks, and I just signed a new year long lease before I was aware she was moving in. I have lived here 3 years I love my other two neighbors, this is a nice area and I could not afford to move to any better at this time. I just feel I left a bad neighborhood b/c of some of the people who lived there and her being here reminds me of that since she is not working, keeps male company, lots of people coming and going, and is in a nd out herself...it just spells trouble to me! Nor do I want to bring to light how we are kids are related b/c of two deadbeat fathers who are brothers. HELP!

    Pursue what is in the best interest of your children,and just as important that,that gives you peace of mind(both are priceless).

    Fire your MIL and hand pick a sitter that will help your children develope in a positive way.........You can pay now....or pay later when they are out of control and calling you to bail them out of jail!
