I wish I lived where you did! Or i would help her out no problem, I'm a stay at home mom with a 2 year old and a 4 month old, and my son has no friends....
put a add in the paper that you are looking for someone to watch a 2 year old during the day, and when you talk to them, tell them your situation and that you can't pay that much......
I would so help you if I could!
You don't live in NY do you?

Welfare or state aid is a good way to go. They will most likely enforce child support on the father. They will also give her cash, food stamps, and possibly child care and help with rent

Can you take care of her child, there isnt anything that an impped a person from geting a job. She should talk to someone that can babysitt for a amount of time without paying and then when she receives her fist check she can pay,Tell her to get a job

She has to get a job. Thats just how it is. She can get support from the state for her older child and her ex for the younger. But she's going to have to work. That money is for the kids, not her.

She shoulda thought about that before she had the 2nd child. She has to get a job at night and try to get Grams to watch the kid while she is at work. Alot of women wanna be independent, until it's time to be, then they want to make excuses.

my sister has 3 kids of her own and is also a single parent, she gets a lot of help from the government like welfare and what not. Tell your friend to try that! Hope all goes well

Try applying for assistance in her state. Food stamps, daycare assistance, cash assistance. $75 per month is cheap daycare. I pay more than that per week per child.
She should already be receiving SSI benefits for the first child since the father was killed. Why isn't she receiving any benefits for that?
