How much is a fair price to charge for this(babysitting)?

So my cousin and her husband have asked me to watch their three kids while they work a few hours a couple days a week. There is one baby under a year old, a 2 year old and a 5 year old. I want to be fair and not charge them a ton since they are family after all but I am not exactly sure what I would even charge. being slightly under payed is fine though since it's family.

They told me to just pick what I think cause they don't know either since they have never needed a babysitter till this point.

Also I live in Oregon if that affects the rate at all by the way.

    Daycares normally charge 75 a week per child so if you charge 30 a day that might turn out to be more expensive for your cousins. Try a flat rate of like 150 per week for both kids. Something like that might work out better.

    I live in South Carolina and I keep two little boys for a friend of mine. They are 16 months old and 3 years old. I keep them from 9am til 6pm. I give them snacks and lunch. I charge $20 a day. I hope this helps!
