In a controversial TikTok video, a mother criticized her daughter's decision to charge $20 an hour for babysitting, deeming it excessive for someone without formal qualifications or experience. The mother questioned her daughter's rationale, emphasizing her lack of legal work status, high school graduation, and essential skills like CPR. Despite the mother's challenges, her daughter argued that this is simply the going rate. The discussion sparked mixed responses from viewers, some supporting the daughter's assertiveness and others echoing the mother's concerns about the perceived unreasonableness of the charge.
According to Urban Sitter, the national average hourly rate for a babysitter is around $23.61 for one child and $26.57 for two children.
I said, 'Wait a minute. Let's break this down for a second. You're not even legal to work... and you want to charge $20.'
