I used to get paid $5/hour to babysit, but it really depends on the area. Also, minimum wage in Ontario went up to $7.75 for students recently... so I think $6-7 should be sufficient in most areas.
If you are really curious, ask a neighbour or the parents of your child's playmates. They should be able to give you a good idea of what the going rate is in your town.

three kids 9,6, and 3 8am-10pm i got 30 bucks
one 7 year old, 8am-7pm i got 60 bucks
one 1 year old, 5pm-midnight i got 20 bucks
two 7 yearolds, a 7 month old, and a 11 year old 7pm-midnight i got 60 bucks

I guess its just whatever you want, the kids are older,so id say 30-40 bucks a night? Just give her what you feel like she earned
