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!

I babysat one NYE through sitters probably 4 years ago and earned £80 that night. So I agree that £100 minimum would be in order.

In London but the suburbs I pay £9 an hour so from 6-12 we paid £60 but no cab home. I wouldn't pay £120 for a sitter personally but I know people who would so don't under sell yourself!

Im a cm and do babysitting I charge £7 per hour for up to 3 kids, more is extra. For new years eve last year I offered £10 an hour no takers, but then we are in a village and the local village hall was bring your kids if you want and BYOB, so I guess they all went there. I guess its supply and demand if you can get £20 an hour go for it.
