[quote=Anonymous]Hello, I was wondering if I am missing something. We are new to DC. Recently divorced, ex H left me with our 2 children (infant and 2.5 yo) and I cannot file for child support as he is not US citizen and resides overseas now. I am a single mother making low 6 figures. I live in ward 3 and cannot afford childcare. How do you go about finding childcare? 1. There is no availability 2. It would take more than 2/3 of my income based on the prices I have been quoted 3. Nannies are so expensive! Obviously, not working is not an option so my question is how do I afford childcare, rent and putting food on the table? Maybe this is more of a rant and a lot of middle class families are wondering the same thing but I was supposed to start work 2 weeks ago and cannot start due to lack of childcare. I have 0 family around so absolutely no backup care. This is depressing even to type but I feel like I am missing something! Thanks [/quote]
