I am a professional single mother working from home and have little help from my EX. I really need some good sitters and/or other moms to occasionally exchange care with weekday evening and weekends. It is SO HARD to find time for myself. Any other suggestions would be SO appreciated.

What can I do next?

Hi S.. I am also a single mother and have ABSOLUTELY NO TIME for myself!! I live in Valley Ranch so we are not exactly neighbors but maybe it's not too far to work something out. Let me know if you would like to try to meet for coffee or something one day. I am 26 and have a wonderful, well behaved 5 year old son. I know you said you have a young daughter and I'm not sure if you would be comfortable with an older child. He is great with little kids. Anyway, just thought I would throw out a suggestion. Could do us both some good and help us maintain our sanity!! Feel free to email me at ____@____.com.

I am a Teacher at Carroll High School and my husband teaches/coaches at Denton High School. I have a lot of Friday nights alone, so I could definitely help you out on those nights.

This is actually a referral, but I did not want my daughter's name, address listed. That said, my daughter is great with children in the "mobile" stage like your little girl. She loves babies too, but needs the more active jobs to keep her active too. She was a Girl Scout up until this year, and has been trained in many child/healthcare procedures. Katy is 15 years old, and is a sophomore at CHHS in Grapevine. She is in my home every other week, but really wants to have a job outside the home now and again. She volunteers at the nursery at church, and just loves the little kids a lot. If she sat for you, I would make sure to be available during that time as well, in case any issues came up and you were not available immediately. If you are interested, we can schedule a "play date/interview" so that you can meet her (and me) and make sure your little one is comfortable with her first, etc.
I have been a divorced mom without any help from the ex now for about 10 years, so we know how to help. Katy can cook for them, cleanup after activities, and teach artsy crafty things as the opportunity arises. She is a good girl, and would not allow anyone in the home without your permission in advance.
Thanks,
D. Rogers for Katy Rogers ###-###-####

Hi,
You can try Kiddin' Around in Coppell for drop-in child care. Also Little Gym has a weekend night program from 6-10pm. They feed them dinner and get them ready for bed, etc...
I think Kiddin' Around is $9.00/hour which is about the going babysitting rate around here.
Good Luck!

I wouldn't mind helping you out when I could. I live in Carrollton and just had a baby girl July 26th, 2005. My husband sometimes works during the weekends and I have nothing to do really. I don't know how much time I would have, but I would help out when I could. Plus, I'm new to Dallas and wouldn't mind meeting other mothers.
