How much to charge for NYE babysitting?

Hello, i'm just about to send out an email to my babysitting clients about new years eve and i was thinking that i'd probably charge a flat fee for the evening/night. I usually charge £8 ph (which is pretty standard down here) , but i'm not sure how much would be appropriate to charge as a flat fee.

I was thinking £60- too much? Too little?
How much would you expect to pay? Bearing in mind i'm in the south east.
Thanks!

Me neither :) but there's plenty of people need them.

It's such easy money. I was paid £100 by one of my wealthier clients the other day for helping out and doing the childcare for an adults birthday party. To be fair, it was very hard work, but usually it's not bad at all. I usually offer to do some ironing/dishwasher loading/ tidying up as well so the parents get their moneys worth.

No idea, that's why I would never have a babysitter on NYE Grin - or anyother time for that matter.

Might look into becoming a babysitter myself !
