What is the going rate for Post-Partum care?

A mother soon to go into labor, wants me to be there after the birth to take care of things. She asked me to pick a price. I am not sure what I should charge her. So if anyone could tell me what the going rate for that kind of care is. Maybe the hourly rate? Thank you so much.
