Couple of things for you.
For jobs, would you be willing to run an at home daycare? Would you want office work? If so go to a agency and then you can get some relevant skills prior to full press into the job market. Or retail is always good, does not pay a lot and can be bearish with hours.
Wipe the thought of anyone looking down on you. You are strong for raising your child and smart for understanding your limits with money.
I have a 18 month old and work full time. I tried working out of the house and it did not work out. Our household $ would not allow me to not work.
So, I know both sides of the fence. SAHM or working mom both have a lot of responsibilities and work.

I am a recently new SAHM and finances are very tight for us.
Also I admire you greatly for being a single mom. I know I COULD do it if I had to but I am so happy to see my husband come home after work.
I have no advice for you for work, but I wish you all the best and you have to do what is best for you and your family.
Much love!

I'm a SAHM of two; my son is five and my daughter is nine months. Luckily I don't have to do this alone-- I have only huge amounts of respect for women who do. I know what you mean about being able to afford it though. It's not always easy, and even though I am a SAHM, I have a couple part-time jobs to help make ends meet. I work from home a few days a week for a paraglider repair shop, and one day a week I go out and work in person; I also run a remote office for a businessman; and there's the free-lance data entry too...
I wouldn't worry about people looking down on you for doing what's best for you and your daughter. You know yourself and your situation better than anyone, and just hold your high and be proud of everything you do.

| I have no advice to offer you. Only awe that you can do it by yourself. My hubby comes home and I hand off the baby for some me-time. Sometimes that simply means a quiet bubble bath. Sometimes, it means a good ride. Good luck to you!

Hello everyone I'm a SAHM who is looking for a job.I'm not saying I regret staying home with my daughter but come on most of SAHM'S can't afford to be at home w/ child anymore.I told everyone that I would stay-at-home for at least a year anything over that I will haveto get job because not only can I not afford it but I'm also a single mom as well. So being single is just the thing I need for me to get a job. Ihope that none of the SAHM'S will not look down on me because of that.
