Daycare Issues

I was called by VNA and I was offered a job position and interview next week. I really wanted to accommodate the lady on the phone so I made myself sound like a great candidate. They called twice already this week and now it is my turn to call them to schedule an interview. I am so tired of the same dilemma over and over again!

I filed for SSI and I am waiting on my Son's Individual Education Plan so I can get the "Special Needs" Label for my son. They have plenty of Daycares that offer help for ASD children. I am still in the LIMBO though. I think you heard me complain before, but just in case you didn't....here is the story. My son was recently diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder. The psychiatrist said "you can't work!. Daycare after Daycare will kick him out until he gets his diagnosis." She turned out to be right! The Preschool he goes to only keeps him in school for 2 hours a day!

Anyway I finally applied for Social Security Disability as the Caregiver role so I can receive assistance for my son. It is still in the beginning stage but there is hope on the horizon. Recently Denver Human Services asked me if I can limit my time there so they won't have to watch him for many hours at a time. They are the LAST Daycare I have!

I want to work very badly though. I have offers and opportunities left and right to work. I called a few Nannies but they are too expensive at the moment. I am also waiting on my Transition Housing (coming next week they said). So I figure I will interview Nannies in the area after I get my housing and some furniture in the house. I am at a critical time I think.

I got offers to work at the Buckley AFB (won't say what here. You will have to find me in that BIG BASE if you are looking for me....lol.) I am on the "end stage" of the hiring process. I got the extensive background check and everything done. So now I am strapped for Daycare!

To make it worse...CCAP has offered to pay Nannies now! So I will get assistance with Daycare costs soon too! I shouldn't be complaining. However the time is near and I need a job!
