Feeling very stressed at the moment! Unfortunately, I am a single mom, so I don’t have somebody else at home to help me with anything. my daughters father has been taking care of my rent, but that is coming to an end because I am now going through court to get custody of our daughter and receive child support. As a result, he has been backing off with covering rent for us and keeping a roof over our heads. I am in the process of trying to find a better job than what I currently have (my hours are being reduced, my hours are changing weekly, and the staff has suddenly become very clicky) but that puts me in such a tough position. with her father, cutting back on what he’s doing for us rent wise, and my hours being rushed with at work I am having to figure out how to financially support us. One of the difficult things that I am dealing with among this process is that A) my daughters daycare is 45 minutes from where we live currently, which is fine for the time being because I work at that facility but when I find another job, it might not be in the same area as the center which could add a significant time to drop her off and pick her up and B) I have recently started to not like how her teacher is taking care of her. Not wanting her to stay at this particular location makes it even more challenging to find a job because I then have to figure out what to do with her while I’m working. I’m sure there would be daycare is located wherever I end up but the likelihood of there being a wait list is significant because, her room has the smallest max capacity because of her age. If I choose to get her into another daycare, that would mean needing to know where to look but without a job, saying yes, we want to hire you I wouldn’t know where to look to even put her on a waiting list prior to starting a new job.  The other option is to keep her where she is now on a temporary basis, what time, hired elsewhere, and then get her on a wait list closer to me, but that brings up my other issues again; the distance to the daycare, from where we live, to wherever I would be working, and my feeling that she’s not taken care of properly by her teacher. Another option is to find a private sitter but I have a whole bunch of issues with that.  private sitters can be very expensive (right now the state is paying for my daughters care as I cannot afford it otherwise), private sitters, don’t necessarily have CPR and first aid training, which I feel is very important to have, and unlike daycare centers, private sitters do not get background checks.  with all of that said I need a way to support my child and I am stressed and scared and worried and don’t know what to do.
