I don't even know what to do anymore.

I haven't been able to find a daycare around here that's accepting a 10 month old and childcare assistance takes up to a year in my county to be approved. I've been paying my friends sister and she let me know at 3 a.m (when I'm sleeping) over a Facebook message that she can't watch him today. My last sitter did the same thing. I'd get a text or facebook message while I was sleeping just saying they weren't going to babysit. I've already been written up twice for attentance. I don't have any family around here that can watch him either like all my working friends seem to have. His dad was a drunk and has never even met him. I'm struggling to do my best and get us out of this debt on my own but I'm going to end up losing the only job I've actually liked. In fact, I love my job. I love my hours. I love the people. I was finally getting my life rooted and on track. I don't even know what to do anymore. I'm just not meant to move forward! Now I won't be able to afford my rent, at this rate I'm not even going to be able to get my son birthday presents in September. I'm so frusterated and all I can do is call in and cry.

Im sorry about your situation, but look in the newspaper sometimes baby sitters will advertise in there and you could fonder them.

You ARE meant to move forward, and you WILL be successful. Don't give up. I know it's frustrating and feels hopeless sometimes. We all go through this, but it will pass. I don't know where you live, and I don't really have any concrete solutions for you, but maybe there's a local church daycare, a neighborhood mommy who could watch him? I know lots of stay at home moms around me who watch other moms' children to earn some extra money. Maybe search for a few so you have backup in the future?

Where do you live

Try the website 'care.com' that's where babysitters / nannys advertise. Some even have background checks and all that!

Sorry I know its rough I have family around and sometimes they even give me a hard time. I looked into sittercity.com I never ended up using them bc I made up with family and got laid off so Ino longer need anyone to watch them but you could try it. Its people in your area...I would have people apply and you could see their experience and pic etc. Good luck:)
