"How much do I earn washing cars for sale in the USA?" wrote this young Latina mother while sharing a video of a day washing cars accompanied by her baby.
The TikTok user @damabeabee, who has generated a wave of comments and tens of thousands of likes, began by showing how she cleaned a Jeep Patriot at the request of a customer, who even asked her to throw away all the small coins she found in the vehicle.
"Many are upset about why I take my baby to this type of jobs, and the truth, girls, is that sometimes it's just how it has to be. Besides, in this job I earn very well to support him," she noted in the video.
The day she recorded the video, this young "4x4 fighting mom" - as she self-defines - cleaned four cars, although she only showed the two from the owners who gave her permission to film.
In his commented post, he explained that he charges $25 per car, but often earns more due to extra services and tips. At the end of the day, he earned $300 for his work, including tips and additional payments.
In the comments, which number in the hundreds, many celebrated the determination and drive of this young mother to move forward.
"I kneel before this girl, you are worthy of admiration, keep it up"; "My respect to you. God bless you always and your baby"; "Congratulations on being an entrepreneurial woman"; "My respect and good luck"; "You are a living and clear example of a beautiful warrior mother. God bless you and bless your baby"; "A fighting woman, many blessings"; "You are an exemplary mother"; "Excellent, you don't hold back for anything, congratulations"; "What a hardworking woman, I admire you because there are many old women who have grown children and don't go to work, they are just excuses, my respect to you, woman"; "A girl worthy of admiration, my respect, keep it up"; "I admire you a lot, may God's blessing be with you always," many told her.
Others commented on the amount they pay him: "25 bucks is low for your work"; "25$ for a car? Isn't that a bit too cheap? I would say a good price would be at least 100"; "And they wanted to charge me 100 just for the interior"; "With those $300, they pay you for 1 car"; "A regular cleaning is 60, a deep cleaning is 150 and up"; "Here in San Francisco, California, a normal cleaning is expensive, 60, a deep cleaning is 150 and up"; "Here in Illinois, they charge 200 dollars to wash a car inside, and I've already asked in several places and they all charge the same," several expressed their opinions in that regard.
There were also suggestions and concerns regarding taking the baby with you: "Don't leave your baby alone in the car seat while you finish washing the cars. You never know what could happen"; "You should have a stroller for the baby or a bouncer so that they don't come in contact with dust and cleaning products"; "Be careful with the baby, dust and chemicals can harm them"; "Don't leave the car seat up high, put it on the floor because it can fall"; "Dust and cleaning products can be harmful to the baby"; "Why don't you put the baby in a crib? I think they would be better off while you work"; "Don't leave your baby in the car seat for so long, they can get tired and worn out"; "Doesn't the dust from the dirty cars harm the baby?" they told her.
