Needing Childcare for Night Time and Don't Know Who I Can Trust....

I am a mother of a 2 year old girl and will soon be a single mother and will be working nights. I want to spend as much time with my daughter as possible during the day and while she sleeps I will go get a pay check!! I just basically need someone to watch my house and be there in case my daughter wakes up. Then I will be able to be with her in the mornings and it won't effect her as much as me being gone during the day. So I guess I am asking for people who have used a "nannie" or an "in home sitter" and have good things to say. I would prefer the person be a christian and female. I don't know if I'm allowed to ask that or not....any feedback would be wonderful.
Thanks Ladies,
S.

What can I do next?

Hello, I see that this is an old messsage but I was just doing research when I came across your message. I am looking for work, preferably at night, and was wondering how this is going for you guys. I had suggested being with my son (23 months old) in the day and when my husband comes home from work in the evening, I can go to work at night...my husband says no way because I would need to sleep during my son's waking hours. What is your experience in this matter?
In addition, we are happy, practicing Christians so if you are still in need of a night time sitter and live in/near Keller, I am totally available (maybe that could be another option!).
And finally, you are allowed to ask any questions you want-this is YOUR child!

You are allowed to ask ANY questions. You sound like a good mother! I used to work nights 6a to6p and it was TUFF!!! Where do you live? Try putting an ad on craigslist or the online star telegram. They are both free! Good luck to you!

This has got to be one of the toughest decisions for a working mom! A few ideas for you - our sitter may be interested, although I'm not sure. You can find her contact information at www.freewebs.com/babysittingwitherika

Good luck!!!
