Single moms with no help…How and where do you work? I’ve been at the same dead end job for 11 years, since I was 18 (my oldest is 12). I want to move on to something better but I’m always worried about if my kids get sick, have an event, sports practice/game, etc. how would I manage that? My current job is not great & honestly getting worse by the week. Like changing my hours, being treated differently than the men I work with and more. My kids dad is in prison & all I have where I am is my kids grandma (works full time herself) & my best friend (has 4 kids of her own) so when they’re sick, have an event etc I’m really the one that can be there. What kinda jobs do yall have? Are they understanding with kids? Any advice? I don’t know what to do anymore but this is not it
Not sure what type of work you do, but maybe search for an online work from home job
I know it’s hard mama 
not sure of your area,but there are many healthcare jobs(specific hospitals) that provide day care and even night care for employees children and other great benefits… I’d look into education programs and career moves and work from home jobs. 
I drove a school bus so I could take my daughter with me and worked as much as possible doing trips and extra stuff. I finished my bachelors degree and my masters degree online. I now work from home. I’m a single mom to an 11 year old and 1 year old. No child support and no dads in the picture.
Banks are great as you get a lot of pto right out of the game and can be rather flexible with good pay
When I was single, I applied for food stamps and Medicaid. I had a job from 5-2 during that time it was covid, so they had virtual school. But find a job during school hours
I don’t know where you are. I live in the US. I got a state job. Paid Holidays off, good retirement, paid vacation time and sick time and good insurance. Your job sounds terrible. There are definitely better jobs out there. Pray about it and start applying to other jobs. Maybe you can even find a work from home job.
My daughter has always and will always go to work with me. Clients are aware of my situation when they book with me. If they have an issue I will not accept their booking. Daycare was never a moral of financial option for me. And now we homeschool so her going to work with me hasnt changed.
When my kids were young …i got into child care so i could b home nights…or get into the school board so when they r off you as well
There are many stay at home jobs noe especially in internet and phone companies.
Tbh the school system or cleaning jobs are your best bet. I was a nanny for 2yrs, I cleaned homes for a few years but now that my youngest is 10 I work 2 jobs. 8-2 Monday-Friday and weekends 10-5 at a paintball place. I’m getting burnt out so the weekend job is about to go cause I can’t do 7 days a week anymore. I’m not a single mom, but even with hubby & I working, we’re getting by. Barely. Good luck momma 
You could apply at a child care centre to be an ELA, you dont need schooling for that, I’d go for the YMCA. I myself work for the ymca of Hamilton burlington brantford and they just upped our time off from 2 weeks vacation to 3 weeks vacation - from date of hire to 5 yrs and then they add a week. At 10 yrs they add another week. Plus we get 6 days sick days, 3 personal days, 3 bereavement days and a moving day each year. So it’s a good amount of time off. It’s always hard with kids, but if your looking at anywhere that understands the work-home life balance with children, it’s the ymca. The pay isn’t atrocious either, plus really good benefits…not sure if this is something you would consider, but I thought I’d throw that out there for u!!
