Jeff Lewis is watching what happens when Andy Cohen hires a babysitter and he is not impressed.
After all, the Flipping Out star poked fun at the radio host after learning that he paid his 23-year-old babysitter about $30 an hour to watch his kids Benjamin, 6, and Lucy, 4.
“That sounds cheap to me,” Lewis said on the Sept. 28 episode of SiriusXM’s Andy Cohen Live. “Especially from someone with your money! She was there for two hours, and you gave her sixty bucks? Did that even cover the cab?”
Cohen clarified, “She was there for two hours and fifteen minutes, so I gave her $70.”
However, Lewis revealed that he pays his babysitter $37 an hour to watch his 9-year-old daughter Monroe.
“I probably would’ve given her a hundred for two hours,” the interior designer added, “[with] two kids.”
Of course, that’s not to say Cohen doesn’t understand the gravity of caring for his children. In fact, the TV personality said being a dad to two kids flipped his life upside down in the best way possible.
