Babysitting. Should I have a trial run? And how much to charge?

A family friend recently asked me if I babysit, and I said yes. The family who wants me to babysit has 4 kids. 3 girls (ages 8, 3 and 7 months) and one boy (5 years old). Should I let the mom know I'd like to go with her on a trip to the zoo or the mall so I can learn the baby's schedule and more about each child? And also how much should I charge if I do babysit them. The kids are not rowdy (not while I've watched them at parties at least) and are very well behaved. Thanks for the help! (By the way, I am 15, going on 16 in October. I am also First Aid/CPR certified and am a lifeguard)
