[quote=Anonymous]I think the other poster who suggested splitting childcare with another single mom has the right idea. You can't afford a nanny, and a nanny wouldn't want to work the kind of schedule you're wanting anyway (not for less than $20/hr anyway). You need to find SEVERAL other adults you can trust to cover the hours you need each month. Do you have ANY family or friends at all in the area? See if they would cover even one shift per week; offer to pay them. Find a few other moms; maybe they'd be willing to cover one of your work shifts in exchange for you watching their kids so they can have a date night? You have a crazy work schedule and chose to have a child; that's no one else's problem but your own. [/quote]
