    Since you would need to travel from SZ, you should at least ask for the cost of travel.

    Yes, good points, thanks. So do yourselves think asking for an additional 100HKD (50HKD addition per hr) for transport costs and time of travel (will take over an hour and 40HKD, two way) be reasonable? Its like both baby sitting and tutoring, so maybe it should be additional $$!
    l'm definitely not doing this as a career or future job experience, its just an experience, that is appreciated. l could do plenty of my own things in time used, so would like to get the 'market rate' whatever that is, and it seems more than 125HKD / hr l'm receiving. thanks for feedback

    Think of it this way: what is the next best alternative to doing that?
    If the next thing you can think of isn't the next best but is in fact better for you - then that is what you should do. Unless you like doing favours at your own expense... Which is entirely your decision.
