SOCIAL MEDIA REACTS TO BABYSITTER ADVERT

@Dex2ro: “With these demands she might as well take care of the child herself.”

@azn_hyunnie: “She’s looking someone that has a “master’s degree” then is just gonna pay them $200 a week.”

@DukeofMinaj: “Okay personal parenting preferences aside… four kids under the age of 10 (2 of which are toddlers), cooking, cleaning, plus errands, working 30+ hours a week (including some weekends) for $200?”

@Manyfacesoftop: “Don’t have four kids if you can’t take care of them and expect somebody else to raise them and be under-compensated.”

@TheRevDrLeslie: “Honestly that’s $200 an hour territory. Four whole job!”
