The chores ranged from organizing the island and cleaning glass mirrors to vacuuming the couch and scrubbing the inside of her fridge, priced between $3 and $15.

In her caption on TikTok, Ivan explained her choice.

“I am a teacher and I have a small business that is in the busy season,” she wrote. “Little things have been let go for too long. If my sitter decides to do this, I’ll be forever grateful. If not, I’ll get to it later like I already had planned.”

In the comment section, many viewers criticized her choice, with some saying that the payment is too low. “I think $10 is too cheap for some of these tasks considering the amount of work/size of the mess,” one person wrote.

Ivan replied, taking the advice under consideration. “I’ll definitely be restructuring the prices to make this more fair in the future. Thanks for the advice,” she said.
