Am Abend GINGEN die Eltern in die Oper.
Der Babysitter KAM und ERZÄHLTE eine Gutenachtgeschichte.
Die Eltern SAGTEN dem Babysitter, dass die Möbel nicht verschoben werden sollen.
The parents told = Vergangenheit
The second part is a instruction with future meaning = She isn't allowed to move the furniture.
What do you mean with the next two notes?
the nanny called one of the parents that there was a clown behind the door and the baby is crying?
I don't have an idea what do you mean with the other.
Es GAB keine Clownfigur.

@learningbunny Because "erzählen, sagen" etc. use Dativ. "ich sage dir, ..." (I say to you, I tell you).
So in this instance it's like "I told to the babysitter" (ich sagte dem Babysitter...").
If the babysitter is feminine, female, "die Babysitterin", then it would be "ich sagte der Babysitterin".
