How much should I charge to watch a kid and some animals for a week?
Some family friends are going out of town with my parents and I’m going to watch their daughter, a preteen, and several animals (dogs and such) while they’re away for a week. I’m able to leave during the day but will be staying the nights there and cooking meals, as well as driving her wherever she may need to go. In the past, they’ve paid sitters $25 a day to take care of just the animals. Since they’re family friends I want to find a reasonable amount to ask for. Any suggestions?

50 dollars a day would be reasonable because you have to pay for gas and food.

$40 to $50 a day, plus gas and food expenses paid.
