How can I find help paying for child care for my newborn baby?

new mom asked:


I have heard of the child care council but they are not funding until July and I may not be chosen. Child care seems so expensive for a newborn. I don’t know how I’ll be able to do it and pay the bills. I wish I could stay home, but I would not be able to afford it. Is there any other help out there?

    For child care while you get employment they will pay some of it.

    You could try the local job and family services…they do state funded child care. They would tell you wether you qualify or not. They could also give you a list of state certified baby-sitters and you could call around and check the prices. Some of them may not charge as much as others. You might be able to find one that you would be able to pay out of pocket.
