Are they all in 1 cage?
If so, and since you're taking them to the sitter's house and supplying all the necessary supplies, I would say $10/day is sufficient.
If you need her to provide veggies, I'd do $15/day.

I definately agree that you want some agreement between you/the sitter/the vet about emergencies.

My rescue does pigsitting for $5/per day for every 2 pigs. We provide hay, veggies and cage if necessary. We also do $6/day if we provide pellets on top of those other 2 things.

We have a contract similar to many dog/cat petsitters and just modified it to meet guinea pig needs.

All money goes into our operating fund to keep our rescue going.

Oh Henie15, Why couldn't you have been in MN? I like the sound of your love and care.

I love the idea of part of my pet sitting fee going back into the rescue. I'd probably pay you more!
