The standard for everyone i've every known is about 5 dollars an hour which is usually for 2 kids but considering the age i would expect 5 dollars an hour

i've baby sat for many many people and thats just the average

You can charge a bit more if the child requires diaper changes etc., but not much.

I think $5/hour is reasonable.
