A prophetess made an announcement that she needed someone to babysit her kids for a week. I didn't say anything but all of a sudden they were in my house, but this house was not my real life house. I was hosting a family- a mother and 2 teenage sons who I didn't know. They were sitting at the dining room table. I thought to decline her kids staying but decided not to. In real life her kids are young, but in the dream they were around 12 and 15. Then I noticed she was there too and I wasn't watching them so I checked on her daughter and she was in bed. I asked her where I could find dresses, modest clothing but forgot her answer. Then we were cheering one of the teenage boys from the family I was hosting first at a sports event. I think football or wrestling.

This might not be what you expected to hear, but it reminds me of how visible leaders misuse volunteers. Leaders send unpaid helpers out to pick up dry cleaning, watch their kids, edit their sermons... all in the name of "serving God."
Followers want to be helpful, to serve God humbly, to be connected and where the action is; and often find it hard to draw the line, or say no.
In the dream, you had responsibility for her kids, even when she was in your domain! And you were made to feel guilty for losing track of them. That is not your responsibility. You didn't even agree to it-- she just dumped that on you.
And you had prior guests to take care of. Overwhelming. No one is taking care of you (even if you wouldn't want that). The end might be showing you a way you can say no to too much demand.
Often in dreams, children represent projects or ministries that a person has had on their heart and incubated, launched (lol bad metaphor mix... I mean birthed).
There might be someone/group that you agree with and generally want to support, but hadn't planned to get as involved as they want you to be. Watch out for people giving away their own responsibilities, and dumping them on you.
Or larger scale, to your church, or denomination, or country.
