Need some input- how much to charge?

Hey ladies! I need a little advice. A friend of a friend needs childcare for her pre-teen son this summer- he has some medical issues, and she wants someone who is able to give shots. She also happens to live less than two miles away- perfect!

It sounds like a good situation, but I have no clue what to ask as far as weekly fee. I am sure she will have an idea of what she will spend, but last time I was offered a daytime babysitting gig, the mom offered me what was essentially $2 an hour.

How much would you charge hourly (or weekly) knowing that she wants a nurse (I am)? He will be over my house, we will be doing activities (she will pay for the cost of them), and I will ask that she send him with a lunch due to his medical condition.

Thanks in advance! I just don't want to under/oversell!  

 

ETA: It will be 8a-6p Mon-Fri (50 hours).

    That's a tough question and I have no experience with this. Especially not with pre-teen aged kids. My very uneducated guess would be around $250 per week.
