Hey everyone...I'm wondering if anyone has any ideas on how to help a very young single mom who feels like she's drowning. She's barely scraping by and could use some...

Sarah Gapa she has a little boy who's 17 months old. Those are the clothes she REALLY needs.

Krystina Elizabeth that would be great! Let me talk to her and I'll let you know. I know she qualifies because she was/is on some. But recently had some taken away. It's difficult to manage DHS on her own so your help is a wonderful idea.

What area? Krista's Kid Kare is in Jenison and she always has summer openings because she has a lot of teacher kids during the school year. She is phenomenal and is way less than $50 a day per child!

Hey there. Does anyone have any recommendations or know of anyone interested in doing part time day care? Thanks :)
Michelle C. replied:
A few suggestions...have you heard of kent 4 c's? You can look up licensed day care providers in your area - http://www.4 cchildcare.org/. Then you can call to see about availability, interviews, etc.
Michelle C. replied:
My other two suggestions are websites care.com and sittercity.com. I've used both to find part time care and babysitters. You can find profiles of sitters looking for work. Maybe you would find someone there that would come to your house?

Big Steps Little Feet is right around the corner. They are very flexible with scheduling, but not cheap.
