[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 573972, member: 1514"] Lisa, didnt you used to do child care? Start doing that again. You will make far more money than you will at any part time job or even a full time job. Do you realize what parents are paying for day care these days? Here it starts at around 90 to 100 a week for the first kid and you get maybe a 10 dollar reduction for the second. Maybe 20. If you can get approved through DSS, you will be set. You can probably take care of 2 or 3 infants and maybe 1 or 2 after school kids on top of that. I think for a home day care the limit is like 5 or 6 but DSS pays well. I think they pay like 350 a month per child and the parent has to kick in a portion too. That would be what....over 1500 a month in income? At least. If you dont go through DSS, you just have to get your license. MWM, as far as you, I would just take a break and then get your applications started as emergency foster parents. I dont think you should go for being full time foster parents just yet but being emergency foster parents for kids/infants who have to have a home immediately when they are removed on the spur of the moment while DSS is looking for a long term placement would be great. You would make some decent money but not be in the position of having to get tied down or too emotionally involved with the kids right now. You probably wouldnt have them for more than a week.
