I’m going to be a single mom in a few weeks and I cannot figure out how I’m going to get my kindergartener to school everyday.
I recently accepted a position at a daycare in the school system that starts in a few weeks (I plan on leaving the week before). My youngest (1.5yo) is enrolled at the same daycare and will come with me to work. My shifts will be 6:15-3:15
My son’s elementary school doesn’t open until 7. I won’t be living in district so he can’t catch the bus from my apartment (plus he couldn’t chill there alone until the bus comes). I have some friends in the area but none live in the right school zone to have him catch the bus from their house.
What am I missing? And why do I feel like it’s going to cost me an arm and a leg 😭

I’ve always had the idea of being a 911 dispatcher. I enjoy helping people, and I think I’d be good at it. My question is the hours / training.
I’m currently married and we have 2 kids. 1 is about to start kindergarten and my youngest is 1. I’m strongly considering leaving him, and that is part of why I think it might be the right time to pursue this career.
What do the shift hours usually look like? Do rookies usually have to do overnights at first?
Any single moms in here that do this (especially the night shift) and make it work?
It’s a career I have always thought about, and I think it might be a smart move to make. Any advice is welcome!
