alot of retail stores, convience stores and even factories will hire you even if you don't have a high school diploma. go back to places that you have applied to and tell them your name, that you applied and you're wondering if they're still hiring for the position. this will show that you're interested in the job. if you have a hubby or bf that lives with you you could try to get a job with hours different from his so you wouldn't have to hire a sitter. part-time jobs are even easier to get than full-time jobs. i wish you luck.

At this point with the education you have, you'll be working at a minimum wage paying job. And I believe it is impossible to live off of that, especially while having as many kids as you do. First off, I think you need to at least get a GED. Even a high school education won't get you far, but it's a start. For you to be able to support 4 kids, you'll most likely need a professional job, which you will have to go to college to do. Start off by attending classes at a community college (they're cheaper) and then when you're done with that, attend a university. There are plenty of scholarships and federal loans and grants out there. You'll set a really good example for all of your kids if you choose to do so. Otherwise, they may very likely end up just like you. And if you plan on getting a job with the education you have now, how would you be able to afford a babysitter for four kids. With the amount of money you'll be able to make at this point, I'm guessing everything will be going to the babysitter.

You will improve your chances of employment if you brush up your basic literacy. You can attened an evening class or course at your local community college.
However you really do not need a degree to be successful Most of the world's self made millionaire and entrepreneurs did not go to university. They just had lots of focus and drive vision and the dtermination to succeed.
With regard to a babysitter, they can be expensive if you have no money. Why not set up a babysitting circle with your friends and neighbours. Take turns to babysit. When you children start school it will be easier. You will also meet lots of moms who are in the same situation and you could share childcare/babysitting.
It's not easy, it's down to hard work and drive. But it is possible to achieve if you try hard. So chose what you are good at and have an interest in and stick with it. Good luck. BTW do not get caught up in unhealthy relarionships with loser men. They are the biggest stumbling block to sucess and achievement. Most are parasites in need of a mother figure, will drain your energy and are losers. Focus on you and your kids and getting a good job.

The first thing I would worry about is getting an education to get a "good job"Talk to you're welfare system.They will help you with everything you need.A babysitter,job and education.You probably qualify for a government grant for all of these things also.You can get any kind of minimum wage job without a diploma.But,with 4 kids you're going to struggle,and depend on welfare anyway.That's no way to live.Make something of yourself.You are the only one that can do it.You will be setting a good example for you're kids and you all will be proud.You can pump breast milk for the baby when you're not there for feedings.

I would also agree with some of the others and say get a GED, there are some programs that offer it for free. Check around your area for programs that do this. In the meantime, if u dont have any help putting food on the table welfare is the best way to go! As for childcare, look to family and friends for help. If those sources are unavailable, look to your welfare department and see if there is anything they can do, its always worth a try! Good luck and you'll get it together, you just need a little guidance.

honey with 4 kids your paycheck will be eaten up by sitters.
you need to put some systems in place. like a good support system. listen to the good advice mentioned here like church, GED, high paying job like bartending or let a government agency help train you for a job i applaud your willingness to work and whatever you do please stop having babies - practice safe sex - good luck

Also, try to find a good church if you don't already go to one, and see if they can give you any help in getting on your feet. God bless and good luck.
