How would you tell someone this

So my supervisor at work is pretty much an annoying ass. No one likes him, but he does his job so we don't hate him either. He found out I babysit my coworker's kids and is pressuring me to "do him the favor" as well. I have no interest in watching his children. I do it for my friend for free, but I'm not sure if he knows this. Is there a nice way to say "I want nothing to do with you and yours" or do I just let him get the hint when I keep saying I'm busy?  

I also feel bad because his wife has had several nervous breakdowns, has lots of medical problems, we all know she's cheating on him, and he's got a severe problem with alcohol. At the same time, none of that is my problem.

Just keep saying no. Staying out of the rest of the mess that is his life sounds like a very good idea.

This.  Stay the hell out of that mess.

I would say sure I would love to help you out, I charge $$$.  Be at the top or above the going rate.  Chances are he won't want to use then.

This sounds like a wonderful idea.

I would just say- I really appreciate you thinking of me, but unfortunately my plate is full and I just don't have time to watch any other children.

Oh I very much plan to, I just didn't know if I should be direct about it. I guess he'll eventually figure it out, it just bugs me that he thinks I WANT to watch his kids. I'll just keep having other things to do until he figures it out then.

I'd tell him that since he's a superior you really don't want to mix outside time with work. Tell him you've already got your hands full and suggest a nice babysitting service or something. :P

You make a good point. It'd be fraternization for me to even spend time with my LPO, so I'd bet watching his kids qualifies as well. Thanks Princess, that's definitely one he won't be willing to push.
