How much should I charge hourly to babysit an autistic 3 year old boy?

I babysat a 5-year-old with autism once for money, two times for free (three times in all). He is nonverbal and non-pottytrained. I just let the mother pay what she wanted, and she was going to pay me $20. My mom is friends with the boy's mom (they work at the same place). I even watch him/keep an eye on him/play with him when they're not giving me the responsibility of babysitting. I find babysitting him fun and possibly helpful for my future career of special education teacher. I don't care what I get paid.Well, unless I'm gonna use the money for something important (like Signing Time!, a sign language video series that I like to watch, that would also help him).
