Default Clueless newbie

I am a totally clueless new clown. I have basiclly started from scatch and made my costume, taught myself how to twist balloons, some magic tricks and will be facepainting for any event I am hired for. Bt the probem I am having is what to charge. I have no clue what a fair price is for a new clown with no real expirence. My first 'job' is next week and it is for a good friend. Her daughter asked to have me at her b-day party and they are going to pay me my 'going rate'. I obviously don't have a rate and would like some suggestions on how to price myself. By the hour or a flat rate. And should I make 'packages', like magic and balloons a certain price, but if they want facepainting too the price goes up?

Any help would be great. Thanks in advance.

Jennifer
