I'm of the opinion that if it is worth having a person do it for ~40 hours a week, it's at least worth a living wage. I don't care if someone decides their pet rock needs babysat, if that want a person doing that all week the person needs to be able to afford to live.

It's the opportunity cost. You're not only being paid for the labor you physically do but also for the time you can't spend doing something else.
