Cheeky to order room service or not?

I’m babysitting in a 5 star hotel (live abroad, I’m a teacher and babysitting on the side pays well)
Lovely family, just put baby down, the mum texted and said to make yourself comfortable etc and help myself to anything, but that as they’d just arrived, don’t have anything really and to feel free to order something to be sent up (assuming that would go on their bill?)
Been here since 6, will be here for 6 hours, should have brought some snacks really but was sorting out my own Dd before I left and no time to nip to the shop on the way,

I’m hungry, but that’s cheeky right?

Would you order or no?

The mum told you to order food, so order food. If you order the whole menu, then yes, that would be cheeky.

Stop being silly and order something to eat.

She said to order something - so I don’t see why you are deliberating? I think it’s fine

The mum explicitly said to order something yes? Provided you're sensible and don't go for a twelve course banquet that sounds acceptable to me.

Presumably you have a contact number for the people you're babysitting for? Call and ask her if she minds you using room service, as other than that, if she doesn't have anything there, what else are you supposed to do?

Order and ask to pay on your own card?
