I am a proud parent of a beutiful little baby girl that was born on Nov. 1, 2006. I have gotten into a situation to where I HAD to get a job so that I can support her. Is it wrong to want to find a job so I can take her with me? I DONT trust day cares.

First of all, congratulations!! If you can find a job that lets you take her with you to work then that is wonderful!! I honestly cannot think of any. Working from home might be a good option but then you would probably need benefits like insurance. Good luck with the search!!
As for the day care situation, I can't really put anything in on this. My children never had to go to daycare because I work part time. When I am at work, my husband is home with the kids. I have the best situation out of all the people I know. However, I do know people who have to send their kids to daycare. They are well adjusted, smart kids. They have been sick a lot though, that is just the way all daycares go. They have structured days with meals, naps, playtime and learning time. It might not be so bad, visit tons of places and decide which is best for both of you. At least give it a chance.

HELL NO! I would try to do the same thing if I HAD TO get a job. Try working at a daycare that will let you take the child with you. There are more of them like that then you think. You might have to pay for the baby being there but you will at least be with her. There are also afterschool programs that might let you take her with you. Check with social services. They might be able to help you find a suitable job. Even places like Catholic Charities (and no you don't have to be catholic for this).
You are definetly in no way wrong. I don't blame you. It's your responsibility to protect that little life that you created. I applaud you. Not many people even care anymore. They pop them out and dump them off. Good for you. I wish I knew you. I'd help you with the child. You go for it. You are in the right direction if that is the way you think. Keep it up. We need more responsible people like you around. There's too few now.
BRAVO!

If you can find a job that lets you take her well then that's great. if not, ask around and get recommendations. I work about 15 hours a week and I got recommendations. I love my daughter's daycare. She's been going since she was 6 months, and now is 18 months, and it has taught her to trust other people and play well with children. It's been great.

yes and no. i am assuming that this is your first baby, and i understand how you feel and you've gotta do what you gotta do. but it would be a good idea to first get referenses from the other parents that use daycares to get a good idea. but most daycares are really not that bad, and you can always take tours of their facilities, it is not like that they can force you to use their daycare. but good luck to where you can find a job to where you can take the baby with you, and as far as looking for a stay at home job... believe me i know , they are hard to find.

It's not wrong at all to want to have her with you. It might be a little unrealistic where you live, but certainly not wrong.
You're going to have to understand that having a 1yo with you is going to affect the types of jobs you could get--and will severely limit your chances of getting a job. (Although,it's unclear if you have a job and are looking for a different one or you don't have a job and need to find one.)

Try a family member, but you should really try a daycare. Shop around though! Don't settle on the first one. Also ask around or find a job that has a daycare in the building.

It's not wrong to want a job you can take your daughter to work with you. So long as you don't end up taking a pay cut to take her with you. Make sure it's the right job for both of you.

Unless you work at home or work at a daycare, it is really not fair to employer to bring your child to work plus I am not sure where you can get a job where you can take your child to work, otherwise we would all do it. My kids go to our Locale YMCA and it is great.
