I had both my boys in daycare through a church...its really not that bad!! All I can say is ask around!! Trust me, your child will enjoy it a lot more then you think!!
Good luck

i need night care much harder to find.

well new up date i have to work 3 shift next sunday. they cut 15 % of are work force. so now the child has to go to my moms house starting next week to sleep each night.or give her to my x.witch she will move her 4 hours away and put her in a new school. or go with all the ideas i got here. omg this is wild.i feel sick i want off this ride.

It takes time, but everything will work out okay. I've been raising my son on my own now for over 5 years. Juggling a full time job, finding daycare for him and dealing with his doctors-teachers-therapists isn't easy. My son is harder to find childcare for because he is severely delayed developmentally, but I wound up having my neighbor come get him off the bus. Alot of people won't even consider caring for my son since he cannot walk or talk yet and at 9 yrs old isn't potty trained due to the genetic disorder he was born with. It makes it challenging and no one wants to make the effort to work with him. The other thing you can try is call some local schools and churches and see if they have anyone local willing to do childcare. Also, the department of welfare in your area and the local intermediate unit usually have lists of people who are offering childcare.

I'm a caregiver....

I think the fact that you have your Mom to turn to for help is awesome. Who better to trust then your Mom? If it's not too much of a hardship on her, I would stick with that.

And if you have to put her in a daycare during the day shift, remember she's in school so she would only be there possibly 2 to 3 hours a day.
