snowy's the authority on this, since she's a professional nanny, but I'm her friend and so have some level of knowledge by association.
Or not.
Anyway, I'd think it would have a lot to do with the level of service you're offering and what's expected. The norm I believe is X per hour per child, minimum of Y. Your qualifications and how much you're willing to do as a childcare provider will go a lot into defining the variables.
If you don't already have it, you should get first aid/CPR certification (when I did it many moons ago, St. John's Ambulance offered a 'level C' course that specifically covered infants and children as well as adults). Past that, qualifications are a determining factor. Do you have a background or any education in ECE or a similar program?
for myself, I'd probably figure around $10/hour for 1-2 children, but it's up to you what you think your time is worth.
