This Guy Offers A 'Rent A Daddy' Service For $30/Hour To Help Out Single Moms

Raising a kid is hard. And if you’re doing it alone, it can seem EXHAUSTING. Some single moms and dads indicate that they seemingly have superpowers because they are twice as strong, twice as patient, twice as resilient, and twice as caring. We can't deny that being a single parent is also extremely time-consuming. As a result, more often than not, they need support from someone who can share the responsibility.

Jake James from New South Wales, Australia seized the opportunity and came up with an interesting idea of offering a service for single moms to rent a partner for a day. He posted on his Facebook account to introduce his 'Rent A Daddy' service. And his post immediately went viral and received a lot of attention from some moms. Scroll down to take a look at what people have to say about his idea.

James came up with a pretty interesting idea that may help him have an additional source of income while also helping single mothers. Jake, a truck driver, expressed his desire to "get a break" from his work and made a decision to run a side business on Facebook in March of 2020.

Services include pretty much everything you'd expect from a babysitter, but with a more fatherly approach: 3 hours of instructional learning of vital life skills such as car maintenance and lawn mowing, daycare and school drop-offs and pick-ups, 3 activities of the child's choosing, attending athletic events, and the prospect of getting him on weekends.
Jake will be your family's hunky stand-in baby daddy for $30 an hour. And of course, he will do everything dad does, including teaching your kids life lessons. His Facebook post blew up, and while most people laughed at it, some mothers were actually interested.
Jake's daddy services are AU$30 per hour as a regular cost, with a 20% hourly extra on Sundays after 4 p.m. and Sunday night dinners (which is, of course, optional). For an extra fee, Jake may also attend family gatherings, birthday parties, and Sunday afternoons. His Facebook relationship status and family selfies are among the other things he offers.
