I am twenty three years old and I would be helping out my brothers girlfriend. I would be watching a two year old for six weeks. I would be working a total of four hours a day. I'd be driving half an hour total a day and staying at her place for a two hour gap between her classes. I am not sure what I should charge her for this.

@JD3P,
So, you're actually babysitting 2 hours, have 2 hours gap in between and then
babysit another 2 hours? Your own driving time is not relevant here, but
I can tell you that my daughter (15) gets $10/hour babysitting.

@CalamityJane,
Why wouldn't my commute be considered? I would be spending almost ten dollars a day to get to her house. Thanks for the number though. I was thinking $7 but everyone is saying it's not enough. And yes, two hours, two hour gap, plus two more hours.

@JD3P,
Your commute does not matter anywhere you work, JD3P.
Usually employers don't care if you live around the corner or have a 2 hour
drive, it's your problem how to get there, not theirs. Yes, $ 7/hour is not
enough. Your brother's girlfriend should really pay you $ 50/day which is
$ 40 for babysitting and $ 10 for in between - and only because she's your
brother's girlfriend, otherwise you should charge more.
