Default Advice Needed

My girls are in school full time this year, and I had a job, that I got fired from 2 days after I started, for being "too slow". I need additional income badly - I just do not know where I look for it. I have no money to pay for day care, while I wait for child care subsidy, and I have bills piling up over here and 2 little girls and a house to take care of, and I do not know what to do, or where to look. I have a guy I'm seeing, but he isn't around till the end of November (long story), and he says he would babysit for me while I work till he finds a job, but that doesn't help me right now, and it doesn't help me after he finds a job...I'm stuck and I need help. I surrender myself to you.

The easiest thing I can think of is babysitting (easiest start-up, not the actual job LOL!)

Good luck and I hope you are able to find something soon.

I have done babysitting in the past. I really need to think about what I can do - and soon.

Yep, babysitting or waitress were my quick thoughts.

My first thing is also to think of anything I can cut (even when I think there is nothing left to cut) and anything that I could sell that is just sitting around. Even if it is only a couple of bucks, that is a gallon of gas, a school lunch, etc...

Good luck!

I have been selling things on Kijiji, but it barley gets me anywhere...I wish I could decide...perhaps while I'm sick with the flu, I should take it easy - instead of worrying like this, but I do need to figure it out and soon...I appreciate everyone's advice and ideas...I have to think and figure things out...
