How much to pay nanny who will be babysitting multiple kids

Questions About Nanny Standards/Etiquette

Hello! My nanny who babysits my three kids for me will be babysitting my friends‘ kids as well while we all go out on a date night. I’m genuinely curious how much we should pay her because I have no idea how this works. When I asked her how much she would like to receive she said she will be fine with whatever we give her so that’s no help.

I pay her $24 an hour for my three kids aged 6, 4 and 3. In addition to this she will be also watching two 6 year old boys (my son’s best friends) and a 14-year-old daughter who does not really need watching, but will be joining them in the house. So the total will be five kids, not counting the 14-year-old.

What is a fair amount to pay her? There are three families total that will be paying for this. There will be no bedtime responsibilities. We are going at 3 PM and plan to come back around 7 PM.
