How much would you pay/charge for overnight babysitting?

The family I nannied for prior to DS being born asked me how much I would charge to watch their DD overnight on Friday. I would pick up DD from her gramma's house around 2 on Friday afternoon and then Mom and Dad would be home around 3 or 4 on Saturday, so I'd with her for 25-26 hours.

I have no idea how much to charge, any thoughts? FWIW they used to pay me $13/hour. I don't plan on charging them hourly, just wanted to give you a reference.

    I have no idea what the rates are, but I would do your hourly rate while she's awake and round it off, so let's say 14 hrs at $13/hr would round off to $200. You are responsible for any night wakings, so you should charge a little for staying over. Hope it goes well for you!

    I would do what PP said, and just do your hourly for the awake hours and then add like $20 for the overnight part.  If it doesn't go so well overnight then you know for next time to go up a bit on the overnight price.
