You're thinking about it from a capitalist perspective, though. It's not commoditizing parenting—it's ensuring everybody receives what they need no matter what. "Pay" in a communist context means "you can live without worrying about paying bills to some do-nothing leech". It's not like we're creating a free market of who can parent children for the lowest bidder or some shit.

It looks more like the Yang-Gang basic income model to me. One in which landlordism persists while households remain atomized.
I'm not seeing much in here about community parenting or the socialization of child care. Nothing about time off to guarantee equitable opportunity for all family members to participate in raising kids. Just this idea that parents are wage laborers under a nebulously defined employer.
I could absolutely see some AnCrap or NeoLibshit waving this around while insisting we do an Uber for Parents.

I can't imagine a more capitalist notion than commoditizing motherhood.
Freeing parents and guardians from the depravity of want is not the same thing as establishing some kind of minimum billing rate for child care.
