Kimberly, good for you for seeing your situation so clearly so early. I know there are resources to help you. I quess I would start by getting my resume in order and making job interviews. There is nothing wrong with saying you took time to have your baby. If you can find child care, maybe a trade off with another single parent? That will allow you to go to the interviews, and meanwhile while you are job hunting most areas have a child care referral service. Also there are, as others have said, programs to help you get back to work that may help with child care. Good luck with it all.
