I used to work for a daycare, so I am certified in infant/child CPR and first aid, and an old co-worker wants me to watch her 6 week old baby in my home a couple of days a week. What should I charge? I have NO clue what the going rate is!

He is 2 months old and I am the only one with him during the day. I want to get the house clean but I don’t want my baby crying all the time. I guess I feel overwhelmed. Whenever I go to the store he screams (I mean really screams). I am a first time mother. Any tips? I need advice on how to take care of my baby, clean, cook, go to the store, and take care of my self also. Thanks in advance for all the tips:)
