Default question about nannying/babysitting

My friend is due to have a C-section in a month. She has a 2 1/2 yr old boy and she will need a lot of help the first week since her husband can't take a vacation until two weeks later.

Basically, they've asked me to come by and take the kid for most of the day and pop in and out to help her with general things like cooking and stuff.

They want to pay me what is fair since I'll have to take off work for a week. But I've never done anything like this before. I babysit for them a lot but I've never charged them so I have no idea what would be fair.

thoughts?
