It's perfectly acceptable. In my experience, it's better to exchange money for labor in certain cases because it helps to define an activity away from the friendship and so prevents it from becoming precedential.

I don't have kids, but if I asked someone to take time out of their life to watch my children, I would insist that they receive something in exchange.
