depens how much the parents get paid. for a baby i charge 10 bucks an hour. sometimes 15 all depens on their income, if they have good jobs or not. in the other hand it is a friend and it makes it that much harder but i would say maybe 7 an hour.

Well being paid fairly is the best start specially since it's your friend, so money issues can be a bit tricky to deal with friends.Before I say a number I'll ask what the rate is in your town.. do you any other babysitters in your area?The fact that you already have a 6 yr old and a 3 yr old means that her daughter wont get undivided attention, it'll be split between two other kids-Im thinking from a parent who takes her kids to daycare perspective. Maybe you wanna think of a lump sum p/mos that will make sense for you? You'll be giving her hot lunches etc.. it also depends on what things you'll be providing... lunch, snacks.. what activities etc ?I dont think your costs will be too much higher since Im sure you have all the stuff from your kids-toys equipment etc.. then it's mainly your time which is very valuable...and you'll be handling your 3 yr old as well and part time your 6 yr old.. so it's up to you how much to charge and also how much your friends can afford..As a minimum between $150- $200 p/week but that's on the low side...

I pay 80-100 a week for daycare in PA. if that helps
