If you don't make a lot of money there are daycares slide fees based on income. Your state or city might also have a voucher program for mom's who work and/or go to school. I'll be honest, you are probably not going to find a nanny to watch your little one all day without paying some serious cash. It isn't that people are greedy, it's just that they need to eat, too. Also, I wouldn't leave your baby with just any stranger, even if they are willing to watch your kid for cheap. You need to leave your baby with a licensed childcare provider. Go to Google and type in childcare and then your city and state and see what pops up. That's what I did. I don't qualify for any help, but I did find a great childcare referral agency in my city that hooked me up with a great daycare two blocks from my office building! Good luck. Let us know how it goes.
like Kimmieapples said dont leave him with just any stranger just because shes going to charge you cheap remember thats your son your talking about there...!! And sadly but true theres a lot of crazy sick people out there...!! Theres a lot of goverment daycares out there for exsample my mom takes my sister to a daycare and because shes a single mom and has a low income the goverment pays most of it and she only pays like $20 a month which is not bad at all....!! google it im sure you will find one, its sad to leave your child all day with out mommy but sometimes theres no choice..
thanks everyone for being so helpful i always thought i would never be like other people i would never put him or her to daycare or leave them with baby sitter ..... because of same reasons that who is who god knows... but now when i need to work to help us survive better i need one .... things never happen as we plan.and since i havent graduated yet so just working low pay job or not sufficient enough.anyways .... i live in michigan can you please tell me how to find that cheap government day care i couldnt find anything it just came up with something for like military families.i am still looking and can you please give me more info or details. thanks again everyone.good to see nice people.
Ok jas, I did some searching online and I found a phone number for a social worker in Novi. Her name is Marilyn Knight, 248-569-6200. Give her a call and see if she can point you in the right direction of affordable child care. Good luck,and I hope she can help. I also found a listing of daycares at http://novi.lib.mi.us/childcaredirectory.htp You could go to this site and call one of the daycares and ask them if they know of any assistance programs you would qualify for.
