I am a single mother due to a bad relationship , like wise I lost many friends I figured my family would be more helpful with my boyfriend gone but that just isn't the case. My mother finds excuse after excuse as to why she can not do it. She wants my cousin to do it . I think there is more to it. My cousin can not have a child and I think they are trying to vy for custody of mine so I say Nah uh to that.How can I go about finding affordable daycare and or evening care?

Well as a parent of two I suggest a close family member, grandparents if possible. If not then you need to talk to other parents of people you know and see who they use.
You don't want to just leave your angel with anyone so if there is a local daycare in your neighborhood pay it a visit and ask for a evening sitter available to come to your house.
Best wishes in this venture.

Hi, im 13 yrs old and not had much experience in finding a babysitter but ive always wanted to care for young children. If you have close friends or anyone you could ask them to look after your child or you can get cheap places that look after single mthers children. I would love to look after your child but 1 i dont no you and 2 i have not a clue where you live.
Hope everything goes to plan and hope my addvise goes well,

Put an ad in the local paper, ask around when you're at the park and see other mommies. Also, it might not hurt to contact a local church because they might know of an in home daycare. It's worth a shot!

easy, check around for a local home daycare, like what my wife does! look for someone who has children and is only watching a couple... that way you can trust that they know what they are doing... just be honest and fair with them and it will work out great for you!

find your local job and family, go there and they can help you out, that's what they're there for. they have CERTIFIED caregivers. so your sure your baby is safe.
type in your county along with job and family in what ever search engine you have... it should pop up with your local job and family services contact info.
best of luck to you

if you have a trustworthy teenage neighbour then ask them, it gets them extra money and they don't mind doing it. don't be put off because they are young, most are quite capable of looking after children and they don't charge nearly as much as nurseries.

find the place that does welfare, they'll usually pay for daycare for you. and give vouchers` for diapers, and formula. if that dont work, you can fed ex it to me i'll watch him/her for a few hours

You should actually give job interviews. Ask for references, etc..
