it sucks because if I start working, I have no one to watch my daughter like everyone works but if I pay for daycare what's the point of working .....basically all my money would go to them, I'm going to call a few to see their prices...even though I'd hate to leave my infant at a daycare but what choices do I really have :( I'm going to try and work nights so my boyfriend can watch her since he works a 9-4 job

depending how much you make and your living situation you can contact dshs because they'll pay anywhere from half to the whole cost of the daycare

I heard it takes a while to get the help though @analisa_ag I might just find a night job so I can work after my boyfriend gets off so he can watch her...its just hard to think about leaving her :( and my boyfriend doesn't have mommy instincts so idk how she will do, plus she won't take any of the bottles we have so I worry about that as well

It depends on how many people in your area apply. Here we applied for ELC a month ago and we are on a wait list. They've started pulling people off the wait list but I don't know how long it will be

@supermom1104, damn that sucks. Someone here told me the wait list for ELC is about 1 year. I'm hoping to find some other way to pay for childcare because I'd really love to take my baby to work with me

That's my issue, his dad works full time to support us so if i go back to work it'd be literally to pay for an EXCELLENT nanny.

yea I was thinking of applying for a county job because the pay is 16$ and hour and goes up every year and once my daughters 5 months I can take her but it takes times and sadly we need it now @embersandash but future goal definitely @sonya15 exactly so I'm just going to try and find something part time for Now

When ever I go back to work my husband works days and I will work nights. Even if I could afford child care (which I can't) I don't trust anybody.
