That is tough taking care of your daughter on your own. Well if I was a single mother and I had to work or got and offer to work I would have to ask family, friends, neighbors to watch my child/ren while I go or am at work.

My daugter is still 3yers old. No one could look after her. maybe I should wait little time for her to go on her own, before I go to work again.

How old is your daughter. Is there no trusted one who could take care of her in your absence? If she is too young and you have no one to entrust her to, then don't take the job. Always prioritize your child. It is for your daughter why you want to work I presume but what if your daughter will suffer the consequences of your absence. Then what is the use of working then?

Number one priority is my baby so in your case, your daughter. Work is also important and since you are a single mother, yuo need the job. If the pay is good, I would take the job and hire a nanny. Or better still, take my baby to the day care. If however you feel you cant part with your daughter, then wait for her to start school then enter the corprate world.

If the pay is good I'll look for somebody to take care of my baby while I am away. Nowadays, we have to look for a living and to be practical. Especially in your case your a single mom. I know many single moms doing the same way. I know you'll gonna miss your baby...

If I were you, I will stay at home, apply for an internet connection, apply online jobs and take care of my daughter. Dear, I am not a single mom but I am a mother too. I don't know with you, but for me, I will prioritize the welfare of my daughter. Imagine this, you have a high paying job and a high position but no one takes care of your daughter? She looks so dirty and always hungry. What would you do? Money isn't everything and so is career. When you gave birth to that child, you have the responsibility to take care of her. Now, this is just my opinion. If no one will take care of her when you accept the job, I think you know what is the right thing to do. There are a lot of jobs out there, but you only have one daughter. You don't have to think twice, you just have to think right.

Accept the job and you can find a babysitter to take care of your baby. But if your finances are good, I would just stay at home and take care of my daughter :)

Hi daisy_dion, as a mom certainly I love my daughter and wish to take care of her 24 hours if I could I need to work to earn for daily expenses as well as a single mom. I will send my daughter to the house of babysitter to take care of her during my working hour and bring her back after work. Many working women here do in this way to earn their living without any worry Happy posting
