Spiteful towards others!!!!

My daughter will be 2 in a couple of days. I feel that she is becoming more spiteful. She will hit her older brother for no reason, just walks up to him and hits him.
When at nursery she pushes other children, hits and has just started to grab their faces.
I obviously tell her off, take her away from situation, tried time out. But she just doesn’t seem to care, no recognition she’s hurt someone. (I’m lucky she comes to work with me)
She’s very clever, can talk well and her and understanding is very good.
I don’t remember my other children being quite as aggressive and spiteful, is this a phase? How do I deal with it so it doesn’t continue? Feel like I’m either going to get angry or cry!

My LG is just like this and has been so for the past few weeks. No advice really but I just to say I know what it's like. I dread taking her out to play groups or to see friends who have other children because she just hits them and takes away the toys they're playing with etc. I've tried the same things you have and it doesn't make a jot of difference, she sometimes even laughs!! I hoping it's a phase she snaps out of soon 🙏

I’m glad I’m not alone. I worry when taking her out and there are other children. Especially as she loves babies, I worry she will hurt them too x
