>So many other mothers are looking for caring people to care for their babies as oppossed to day care centers, which are very expensive. If you want to stay home you could babysit, and make your hours 8:30 to 5:30 that's what my babysitter does. You can charge 150 a week per child and that should help out even if you only watch 1 child. You could advertise at churches or temples as a caring mother who will provide daycare in your home. No matter how big or small your place is, believe me people are dying to have a caring person, care for their baby or children in a home environment. The day care centers are full of germs and the kids get sick constantly. You could even make a job of taking care of kids before and or after school. My children are now school age, but I work and don't get home until 4:00 or sometimes 5:00. We pay her $75.00 a week for 2 7 year olds, and most days they are only there for half an hour. I am so grateful to her because my children are close to home, right next door and she is less expensive than the after school care, which has tons of kids. They charge double. It is definitely worth looking into. To get an outside job and put your child in daycare is extremely expensive. It is only worth it, if you can make a lot of money or the job has great health bennefits. That's why I have to work, my husband doesn't have bennefits and I do. I hope this helps. If your not up to full time, then maybe just on the weekends babysit. A lot of people work weekends or want to go out to dinner. You can charge $12 or more an hour, and I bet you would be booked every weekend and your husband can watch your baby. Try not to be stressed. All the hormones that are rolling around in your body can make you crazy. I remember feeling the same way, and a lot of people are in your same situation. Let me know how it goes, and I can help with money saving tips. The most important thing that your baby needs is love and diapers, too. Take care and keep in touch. Sandy
