She could be heard repeatedly telling the toddler in Mandarin to sleep, to which the child replied "no".
"Hi, I hope to reach out to the parents of this little girl. Please check if this is your helper," wrote the Facebook user, who goes by the username PositiveSunflower4774.
"She was on TikTok live abusing your poor little daughter who is too young to know what’s going on. I really hope I can help her!"
It is unclear when or where the livestream was recorded, or whether the woman is a domestic helper.
