I have been babysitting a little girl since she was 5 weeks old. I don't charge her much because she is a single mom, but she still always makes partial payments and carries a balance. Also, the baby is not bathed unless I do it, she constantly has diaper rash and has had a cough/cold for months. She is obviously not held at home, and often has a skin sores on her neck from formula in the skin folds. She is at another sitter's when I don't have her, and her mom only has her overnight. I love this little girl, I have practically raised her. I do my best with what I have, but I can't take her to the doctor and such! I spoke with the mom frankly last night, and she had lots of excuses, and said she was going to try better. I don't think things are going to change, honestly. My hubby said that if protective services are called, I would be in trouble too. I want to give this young mom a chance. How can I help? What do I do?
