I watched my niece for $30 a day, 2 days a week. She came to my house though, but the hours were the same as what you will be doing. It was a lot of work since I have 2 small kids of my own, but my girls loved having her here. If I were to do it again I would probably charge a little more, especially if they weren't family. They also provided everything for her, her own snacks and lunches, diapers, etc. Would you be more comfortable watching the child at your home? It might be easier for you to do that, rather than be "stuck" at your sisters. If not, definitely ask for a second car seat base so you can go places with the baby.
I think you should ask her what she is able to afford and go from there. If she is looking to pay you $25/day and you are OK with that, go for it. I would require at least $75/day for those hours.

Me too. If she can't pay much I get it since she is family but I would never except it from a stranger.
