In thinking 'I have had enough with friend's dd'?

Hello everyone!
My friend's dd is driving me crazy at the moment. She hits my daughter in my house,when we are at their's,in the park,everywhere/anywhere. Last week,we went to Willow's farm and she wouldn't share a trampoline with my daughter,yelling at her to go on another one. She hit her at least 3times that day,the last one in the car on our way back and my dd's lip cracked and bled
It has always happened but my friend has never been firm with her. Sometimes,her dd does it and then quickly burst into tears saying,'I am so sorry! Do you still love me?' and her mum reassures her immediately forgetting what she has done.
Last year,when we visited them,she was going to hit my dd with a wooden toy on the head and fortunately my hand got in the way and it hit me instead. It hurt for about two days! All that time,I used to tell my dd to ignore her. She hits my dd and then says my dd hit her. Now my dd bursts into tears saying,'she is making it up'. My dd does not hit and has never hit her back but I am tempted to tell her to hit her back but do not want her to form the habit and then I regret asking her to.
Want to speak with my friend but do not know what to say or how to start because I do not want my dd around this girl anymore! Friend is very very lovely but cannot jeopardize my dd.
Please any advice?
Thanks very much

I have just ordered the book, 'little angels' from Amazon. I will give it to her so she knows I do care. Hopefully that will soften the effect.
Thank you very much everybody

Sammiez - As others have said - aside from the hitting - it is completely unfair for her to use you as unpaid childcare.
